On a crisp fall morning, I watched students at Lewis Elementary School, in Portland, Oregon, roll up their pant legs and wade barefoot into piles of sand, clay, straw, and water.

There were smiles galore and a few squeals as kids squished the earthy mixture called cob between their toes. It was messy, sure, but also meaningful. Using an ancient method called natural building, students were constructing a brand-new bench for their ever-expanding school garden.

I enjoyed reading about your Lewis Elementary School Garden Program. Our small elementary school has a garden, as well. I will keep checking in on your progress because your blog shows up on our webpage due to a Google Blog Search module that I used.
