Damar Growth for Kids Garden

Damar’s organic garden project is called Growth for Kids Garden. It is an outdoor learning environment designed to engage students age 6-19 in the development of a school garden while promoting healthy nutrition and positive social skills. Our garden helps improve academic retention through an engaging connection between in-class learning and hands-on experiences during the summer, from science and math to nutrition and literacy. We study worms, weather, sunlight, and what our plants need to grow.
