Pre-Kindergarten

The school is taking advantage of new construction and the need to move the current garden to create a garden space with 12 large container beds within a designated School Garden spot.  Partnered with REAL school gardens, the newly designated edible garden will be further incorporated into the school days.  The students regularly use the edible garden throughout the year, integrated within their language arts, math, science and social studies curriculum. An after school Garden Club also contributes to the overall success of the beds. 
 

At E.L. Haynes Public Charter School, our herb, vegetable, and fruit garden provides a living classroom to our elementary and middle school teachers. The teachers use the garden to strengthen their core curriculum instruction and to excite and engage our students in learning. Further, the garden connects students to the source of their food before it hits their plates.

Company Overview

There are many definitions and different ways for communities to attain a more sustainable future. The sustainability of a community depends on creating and maintaining its economic and environmental health, promoting social equity, and fostering broad-based citizen participation in planning and implementation. 

The Active Green Space is an engaging space where community members benefit from a hands on learning experience, explore the process of horticulture, learn the advantages of proper nutrition, harness and utilize green energy alternatives and prevent prevalent health concerns.

Our mission is to teach the process of horticulture, to develop proper nutrition habits, and improve the overall health of our participants through an understanding of where food comes from, how it grows and how these processes are affected by our lifestyle.
