About the Program: 

Our garden program consists of our main garden space which is 30'x60' and it contains 15 fruit trees(generouslly donated by Common Vision) and 8 garden beds(built with the help of our local Rotary Club).  We also have a separate composting area, an herb garden, a small green house and a number of other things growing all over campus.  A group of teachers leads our Garden and Go-Green club on campus and we try to bring gardening and sustainablilty to the students and surrounding community.  We have spaces setup in the classrooms for starting plants and we are working on further incorporating this into our regular Science curriculum.  We also work with our local cities on different environmental projects such as tree planting and litter clean-ups.
