Harvest Middle School

Harvest Middle School opened in 2004 with one fenced in area designated for gardening.  Soon after we have wrote a grant for materials to create raised garden beds, and enlisted a former student from the high school to help build the boxes.  The garden and several surrounding areas on campus were maintained by a small group of students and two teachers during a 30 minute time slot for several years.  Then the class became an enrichment or elective option and things began to blossom.  When the class became a full block period class, students planted every available space on

Wildwood Garden Education

Myself and four other college students from The University of Kansas are stablishing a kitchen garden at Wildwood Outdoor Education Camp. Our garden will be a classroom to teach the campers about self-sustaining gardening and better eating habits.
