Wear Sunscreen continued
Please plan ahead and alert parents when you plan to take students
into the garden. 30 SPF or higher is preferred, when possible, and
should be applied to the body 20 minutes before going into the
garden and reapplied as necessary. Encourage students to apply
sunscreen to their face, lips, ears and skin.

Appropriate Garden Attire
District guidelines pertaining to appropriate attire to the task at
hand are referred to as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). As it
relates to school gardens, please note that garden gloves should
be worn for most (if not all) garden activities. Appropriate footwear
is also important -- closed toed, flat shoes, boots or sneakers are
permitted. Open toed shoes such as sandals and flip-flops are not
allowed while working in school gardens. Be sure to wear safety
glasses during activities that may require them.
