How inviting and welcoming! Nice to see when the community just drives by, too!
ReplyDeletePretty photo.
ReplyDeleteThe schools in my area barely have books! Sad, but true. School funding has never been a big deal here in Florida and it shows in our test scores.
We do have one elementary school here in Jacksonville that has a beautiful mosaic tile wall. It was done by a local artist and is really quite lovely.
A lot of the schools in the 'burbs have gardens. The only one in the city is the School for Agriculture, which is a high school.
ReplyDeleteThe City of Philadelphia though has an amazing Mural Arts program, and those are all over the city.
The ones you are showing make the schools look so appealing!
So pretty - love that. The only local garden at a school near me (that I am aware of) is at a "reform" school. They have huge gardens (flowers and veggies) as well as goats and some other animals.
ReplyDeleteThe high school here in Mitchell used to have ceiling tiles in all of the hallways that were painted by students. But recently the fire marshall determined they were a hazard. So they were replaced. But the painted tiles were offered to the community, so any student or parent or anyone could claim them. I love the garden idea and am guessing that some local schools have student planted gardens, but am not sure.
ReplyDeleteA lot our urban schools have gardens or growing areas, though they are usually the schools that have a lot of family involvement.
ReplyDeleteI like street art, whether it's hanging displays or what some people call graffiti. I don't like all graffiti. Tags, things that do not enhance but vandalism makes me sad.
The murals are just lovely Nancy. In the Chicago area they planted school gardens. Up here, its all farms and fields to no need! Plenty of AG around. :)
ReplyDeleteOur little local school grew a big garden...then the school was closed and everyone went to town...no more planting:(
ReplyDeleteNo gardens here that I know about, but there's interesting art on the walk up the hill. Love the murals in the photo.
