Garden at Wheatley School Deserves Widespread Fame Development of Neighborhood Dump Into Spot of Beauty and Usefulness Made Possible by Co-Operation. BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. HERE is a Washington public school which has a school garden reclaimed from a neighborhood dumping ground, the fame of whose beauty and use fulness in character building has gone forth throughout the “ducatior.nl world. A picture of pupils about its rock garden and pool is used on the official stationary of the School Gar den Association of America A scrap book showing the progress of last year’s gardening work was chosen to be sent to the National Educational As sociation’s convention in Denver in 1935. This garden is operated in con nection with the Wheatley School, situated at Montello avenue and Neale street northeast. Within a nearby radius are busy commercial streets and business plants concerned with those activities which have to do with supplying the needs of our city. Here, are plantings of trees, flowers, flowering shrubs and individual garden plots, here vege tables take on new meanings. As a ' result of their school-grown veg etables many Wheatley pupils enjoy eating their fill of once despised gar den greens. Miss Florence Mortimer, the admin istrative principal of the Wheatley j School, under whose leadership this j project has come into being since she came to her present position, will *ell, you that what has been achieved is a neighborhood activity. "It was made possible,” she goes on to say, "only because of the co-operation of Mrs. Walter Jones, president of the local Parent-Teachers’ Association of the District of Columbia and of a far flung constituency of friends, juvenile and adult, who were so wronderful about giving us a helping hand.” As Miss Mortimer is of a family that has specialized in Army officers, we rather suspect a bit of their gener alship has come down to this feminine descendant. Each year the Wheatley School’s garden program gets off to a running | start with a garden assembly, featur- ( ing the formal opening of its garden ; ! season. Prayer, a flag-raising, gar- j i mon's odes to the Spring, the dance! j of little children as Spring flowers, | i the announcement of garden piizes ; offered by the Parent-Teachers' Asso- 1 i ciation and the showing of colored j I lantern slides demonstrating what I small gardeners of the past have achieved are features of this event, which is attended by neighborhood parents and friends. Current Season Cnder Way. Friday, April 22, was the Wheatley garden's get-away for the season of 1936. Each school had a part in the program, furnishing one number of such uniform excellence that there was no standard of comparison. Have 1 you. I wonder, forgotten the beauty i and dignity of the second song of Solomon? If so, refresh your §pul 1 as I did when I heard again this cen tury-old Biblical chant concerning the presence of Spring among us, which begins: "For lo, the Winter is past, the rain is over and gone: the flowers appear on the earth: the time of the singing of birds is come.” The contrast of today with that Spring seven years ago when purpose, enthusiasm and concerted effort be gan the first steps toward today's garden can scarcely be invisioned. No funds were available from any source for clearing the ground and putting it into shape. The level then was at least 5 feet below that of the j prevailing grade. Old bed springs, abandoned baby carriages, oil cans.; I useless stoves and whatnot had to ; ; be carted away to the extent of 10 truck loads. Drivers of trucks in duced thejr owners to help with and for the cause, which they did. right j nobly. A committee of mothers waited upon the Scars, Roebuck Co..! then excavating for their present Washington store. Would they dump on the Wheatley garden plot instead of in Benning? The contractor was willing, but there was the matter of permission from the District gov ernment for such a procedure, and had they any idea that soil ex cavated from a 30-foot level would ever grow anything? The mothers produced the necessary permits and were as delighted with every truck load that was dumped as if it had been fertile alluvia from the hanks of the Nile. Fathers, after their own days of toil were over, organized shifts to help spread the soil and work it up into some sort of more or less level condition'. The school authorities at the Franklin then allocated the build ing of a retaining wall at the rear of the lot. They also induced each member of the janitorial force to volunteer one day of service during the Easter holiday time to further the preparation of the soil for plant ing by blending ashes wdth it to help with drainage by breaking up the cohesiveness of the sticky clay which was its chief constituency. Then, the Parent-Teacher Associa tion mothers gave a benefit and raised enough money to provide for necessary fertilization and garden seeds. Meantime, the garden department of the public schools, which first came into being because of the vision of Mrs. James H. Alburtis, then Miss Susan Sipe. at the instance of Miss Esther Scott, her successor, assigned a special teacher to the project. Under her direction, the Wheatley school children made a plan for the planting which was to be. An interspcrsion of the useful and the beautiful, it proved to be. Garden Plots Allotted. Garden plots of 8 by 12 feet each were allocated to 90 boys. The girls specialized in the planting of back grounds of shrubs and vines, the bor ders of flowers between the boys' vege table plots and the perennial beds around the sides of the lot. At the time there were seventh and eighth grade schools at Wheatley, and every one of its 800 pupils from the kinder garten through the eighth grade had a part in the making of that garden. With zeal and a craftsmanship which still worthily endures, the seventh and eighth grade carpenter shop classes devoted themselves to the making of lattices for climbing roses and an entrance gate and pergola, whose supports they set in cement. Next, Miss Mortimer sent out the call for donations of shrubs, climbing roses and plants. Every one must bring something for the garden. Every one did, from little handfuls of sun flower seeds, single iris roots, to flow ering shrubs and climbing roses that today make this former dumping ground a garden spot of beauty. The sunflower seeds were planted, too, and by August stood like sentinels guard ing the entrance to a paradise that had been achieved out of desolation. The story of the Wheatley garden that was in the making went afar into other sections of the city. Mrs. Truman Abbe, famous in Chevy Chase for her very special iris, brought an automobile full of her choicest speci mens as a gift to the cause. Today, half of the gardens in Northeast Wash ington are proud to display their iris, children grown, from Mrs. Abbe's par ent stock. For, when the Wheatley garden thins its treasures, it shares them with the parents in the neigh borhood, so that the glory that is the Wheatley School garden’s one season:, eventually Is the neighborhood's. They don’t keep up with the Jonses in that section of the city, they keep up with the Wheatley's gardening projects, and a severe pace it has been. The side terraces which flank the Wheatley School kept washing down t *> t h ft t Altsn n*n«r ♦ ft ft ft ft r Ift ft V' A despite earnest efforts of various gar den groups. Finally some one sug gested banks of iris. If one is to judge by the present-day aspect, the victory has been won with a riot of purple splendor soon to delight the efe of the beholder. Teacher in Attendance. During the very first Summer of the Wheatley School garden's exist ence, Wheatley pupils with a garden teacher in attendance three days a week, even during July and August, harvested the crops from their own vegetable gardens. Theirs was the joy, too, of taking home the crops which they had planted and cultivated. Such radishes, onions, beets, carrots, string beans, tomatoes and Swiss chard never had been raised in the opinion of these little gardeners. Un paralleled appetites for home-grown vegetables developed along with the vegetables themselves. "It was,'' says Miss Mortimer, "diffi cult to tell which parents were more proud of. their children or the vege tables they were raising. "Until nearly Thanksgiving time, they enjoyed those vegetables. The school's class rooms and neighborhood homes were brightened, too, by bunches upon bunches of nasturtiums, zinnias, marigolds and other fast growing annuals cut by the girls from the plants that had flowered as a re sult of their efforts.” Nor. was the garden put to bed for the Winter until the whole school had engaged in a lea.f-raking contest which instead of ending in a leaf burning clean-up, diverted them into a scientifically made compost pile in the garden. Thus, were nature's own stored chemicals put to use for an other season. The succeeding years have brought increased usefulness and beauty, each season featuring some new project. One year the boys laid the flagstone walks, first securing the material from friendly contractors. Another time they put in the curved stone steps by which you descend from the play ground level into the garden itself. The sign over the entrance gate, also fashioned and painted by pupils, reads: “Look Through Nature Up to Nature's God ” Making racks to hold garden tools was great fun, too. There wasn't anything I more enjoyed than a glimpse Into the tool room to see these same racks in place and small gardeners coming and going, taking out and putting back various imple ments which they were using in their gardening. Tree boxes to protect the trees which shade the playground are an asset which the school owes to the energy of its garden assistants in the carpenter shop classes. Constructing bird boxes and putting them in favored locations in the school and home garden was a fasci nating diversion for still another year, as was the fashioning of an addi tional pergola with a garden seat the succeeding season. The wisteria which entwines this pergola is worth a day's Journey for the delight of seeing it in full bloom. Rock Garden Obtained. The endeavor which resulted in the rock garden and lily pool was just one more shining example of un daunted community spirit. The plan, like many another, was ideal on pa per. How to realize it was the prob lem. Pupils told of suitable rocks being excavated on a nearby lot. They would have to be removed immedi ately If they were to be secured. Somebody suggested children's express wagons. By the time school was out a regular fleet of express wagons was in operation, hauling stones from the lot to the Wheatley School garden, with Miss Mortimer and Mrs. Brooks, the sixth grade teacher, in charge of loading and unloading details. Sev eral fathers, who were stonemasons and cement workers, caught the vision and, after their own day's work was done, helped volunteers from the school to fashion a garden and a pool ! in this New World setting that con j forms to the beauty of line and de sign which they brought with them as precious memories from ancient Rome's glory. Nearby are two cement garden benches, the handiwork of an other Italian family, and a gift from them to the school garden because I of the joy their grandchildren have i had in it. Here, you see, giving and sharing go hand in hand. The day that I was a visitor in the Wheatley garden, Miss Helen Stohl man came forward to greet me in the midst of clean-up operations on the pool preparatory to the Spring's , advent of tadpoles sponsored by 1 successive groups of boys, "because it is such fun to see them grow into frogs." Other groups were painting the garden-gate palings. The bird boxes had been readied for their Spring occupants weeks before. Other j youngsters with spading forks, hoes and rakes were preparing Individual ' garden spaces for this year’s garden* j ing efforts. In nearby neighborhood | gardens, everybody was keeping up with the school’s gardening pace from tiny little toddlers to their fond grandparents. There Is a home-garden contest, you know, managed by committees of parents from the school and in spected every two weeks without noti fication all Summer long. Those who lapse by the wayside are promptly eliminated, but eliminations are usu ally few and far between, with from 60 to 70 home gardeners vying with each other for the garden prizes awarded at the opening school as sembly in the Pall. The prizes take the form of subscriptions to garden magazines, and are usually brought to school to be loaned so that gar dening at Wheatley really continues the year around, even if the garden itself is closed during the Winter months. Among many experiments worked out by the children are those that have to do with the planting of seeds in different soils and under dif ferent conditions of light and mois ture, so that they may judge from experience as to which work out best in practice. Scrap Books Are Kept. Prom 1930 on, school scrap books containing plans for. and pictures of, the garden of each year in operation have been carefully kept. They con stitute a record of progress and mod ern educational achievement of which this city may Justly be proud. Col ored slides made from the pictures are frequently thrown upon the screen at various school assemblies, and there isn’t a motion picture element in the school’s life which can com pete with them in popular interest among pupils, parents and teachers. For here is happy childhood at play and at work, in a work that seems play because it is so wisely and sanely made a part of life and living. I was told, and can well believe, that many a “problem” boy or girl finds the answer to himself in the Wheatley’s school garden. “With so much beauty in flower, and with such choice vegetables grow ing for the picking, do you have trouble with depredations or vandal ism of any sort?’’ was my final query. “No,” was my chorused answer from Miss Mortimer and Miss Stohiman. With the light of a great dream come true in her eyes. Miss Mortimer then said for her school: “All that we do goes back into the home and re turns to us in the feeling of the neighborhood for this garden, which is theirs really more than it is ours, and so it needs no protection from itself.” When the climbing roses are in bloom this year, the custom ever since the group helped to make the Wheatley School garden an actuality, the final meeting of the Parent Teacher Association will take the form of a tea in the garden. To it are asked the friends who have had a part in making the garden pas sible. Wheatley pupils design and, write invitations for the occasion. Over the garden seat in front of which the guests are received is this motto, which is perhaps the best epitome that could be devised as to what is being accomplished: "Till now we dreamed not What could be done With a bit of earth And a ray of sun." - ' ■ -•-« Mineral Trade Is Topic.
