Dilafruz Williams of Portland State University also sent us to see the beautiful gardens at Sunnyside Environmental Elementary School in NE Portland, which she was involved in founding. Here are some photos -- you can see their poetry board, native grasses and grains project, colonial-style garden, rain water catchment, moss graffiti, chicken coop, wild bird conservation area, rain shelter, and much more. In the typical small front and side lawns of an elementary school, the students, teachers and parents at Sunnyside have developed many beautiful, distinct places and projects for teaching and learning.
