Peacock Learning Garden

After several years of discussion and volunteerism with community gardens, we were able to find the means to launch a Learning Garden on site and we completed our first growing season in 2011. It was a resounding success and we are excited about developing further opportunities to integrate the use of the space and create additional opportunities for our students and community.
