On Tuesday, Frank Meehan and Joe Petner led an hour-long garden workshop for Cambridgeport teachers. They demonstrated how many fascinating biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) things can be found around the schoolyard and used in day-to-day curricula. Frank brought in dozens of trees samples, from white pine to weeping willow and American beech, to show differences in plant structure and growth. After a quick and enthusiastic botany lesson, Frank passed around landscaping ideas for the new “woodland garden” space between the two playgrounds.
