The primary purpose of the garden is to create a space in which the urban students we serve at the Therapeutic Day School have a safe place in which to commune with nature and have a direct, sensory experience.

Other students in the culinary arts class utilize those crops in menu items for the student run deli

Bee Girl's Kids and Bees Program

Kids love honey bees. It’s pretty much a fact. When I sat on the sunny deck of my aunt’s cabin eating honey comb straight from the hive as a toddler, a seed was planted that grew into an affinity for all things bees as an adult.
