Title: Maywood Pumpkin Patch
1Maywood Pumpkin Patch
2Where, When and Why
- We will need a tractor or roto-tiller to dig for
the seeds. We will be putting the pumpkin patch
on the far left corner of the big field.We are
planting Max Pumpkins.If we are able to put the
pumpkin patch there we will try to put it in by
October next year. We are doing this because we
want the students and faculty to get in the fall
spirit!
3How Are Kids Going To Grow A Pumpkin Patch?
- If any kids at our school want to help plant
pumpkins, they will have to take a test on how to
plant them correctly so we know that the pumpkins
will grow right.
- The tests will be graded and the top 6(for
example) will schedule when they will be able to
come plant and water their pumpkins. According
to who is able to come, when the pumpkins are
ready to be sold we will have kids come and tell
customers about the pumpkins.
4What Will We Do With The Money We Make?
We plan on using the money we make to purchase
dinner items for needy families in Tehama
County.To meet this goal we have, we will be
pricing the pumpkins by pound. 1 pound
pumpkin is 1 2 pound pumpkin
is 2 3 pound pumpkin is 3
4-7 pound pumpkins are 4
8-15 pound pumpkins are 5
Hopefully there will be around 200 pumpkins to
sell!! We plan on getting the money to buy the 2
pounds of pumpkin seeds and a rental tractor
from fundraisers. The pumpkin seeds will cost
around 120.00!
5Fund Raiser
- We will need money to buy pumpkin seeds and to
rent a tractor. How will we get the money?We will
be having a car wash, a bake sale, and well sell
tickets to reserve pumpkins for people that dont
have time to come down to the pumpkin patch.
People who reserve pumpkins will have a pumpkin
sent to their house.
6What Will We Do With The Pumpkins We Grow?
- With some of the pumpkins that dont sell, well
carve into jack-o-lanterns and bake the gooey,
yucky seeds into yummy, salty pumpkin seeds.
- With the rest of the pumpkins that arent sold,
we will bake them into delicious pumpkin pies and
give them to needy families for Thanksgiving.
