High Tech High Media Arts Community Garden

Seniors in 12th grade Environmental Science are the caretakers of the High Tech High Media Arts (HTHMA) Community Garden, a 5000 square foot garden and orchard space. Each semester, students embark on projects that both develop and maintain this space as a community resource and local model of sustainability, all the while growing food with purpose. We have developed a pilot CSA and Farmers' Market program, and are working with our school and local community to move toward zero waste.
