Middle School

The Franciscan School

Our goal is to provide an engaging, hands-on, plant-based learning environment, teaching the students care for creation, organic gardening and social justice. The garden will provide an unparalleled environment for students to learn the joy of the natural world, the myriad varieties of edible plants, and valuable ecological principles. We want to build a greenhouse in order to extend the growing season, increase the year round harvest, maximize student involvement, and enhance scientific experimentation.

Stone Mill Elementary School

Educate the students about healthy, organic nutrition by growing their own fresh produce and flowers and learning about giving back to mother earth by composting, conserving water, building a healthy soil and encouraging wildlife and beneficial insects to be a part of a healthy enviroment.

Sherman Middle School

The mission of the Sherman School Garden is to maintain a beautiful, sustainable garden that engages students to be active participants in the everyday food choices.

These lessons foster sound nutritional practice, responsible food choices, and environmental stewardship.

Ponce de Leon Middle School

The garden's goal is to involve students in creating, planting, and maintining their garden, Last year students built the garden boxes and installed the arber and the fence around the perimeter of the garden with spacific measurements. Them they planted vegetables, herbs and added a bit of whimsy. This year the students weeded and repainted the garden boxes and were instucted to bring in spacific vegetables and herbs. They will monitor the growth of one of the plants that they bring in with a ruler. They will have a log where they will be keeping their data and observations made.

Northwoods Middle School

Northwoods Middle School is a Title I Public Middle School located in North Charleston, SC. Most of the parents who send there children to this school live in poverty, therefore we have limited donations from a parent organization. The children would like to build a garden around a newly constructed Outdoor Shelter that was constructed by a local chapter of Trident United Way. The garden area would include seating for at least thirty five people, with a garden surrounding the area.
