Minnie Moore makes the garden her classroom.
Moore, a special education teacher at Patrick Springs Primary School, and her students have an organic Bowl of Lettuce Garden in a school courtyard.
Moore described her work with students and her two decades of organic gardening at Saturday’s “Rivers and Bugs Summit” in Axton.
She said the plants — lettuce and other garden vegetables — are grown in a container garden system called an EarthBox.

Scrap foods from school meals also are added to the garden’s compost container, which has to be shaken several times a day.
