Timothy Murphy School

We have several goals for our garden this year and in the years to come. The first goal is to provide an opportunity for our students to learn about gardening, the cycles of plant life, how to grow healthy, organic food and develop a sense of accomplishment that so many of our students have never experienced. Students will learn how to plant, harvest and prepare the food they grow. The garden will also provide fruit and vegetables for the students to take home and share with their families.

TH Rogers Elementary

TH Rogers has integrated the habitats and gardens into the schools curricula. The accessible gardens are used by our culturally diverse, gifted and talented, profoundly deaf, and multiply impaired students. Our goal is to increase our students access by providing adaptive tools to our multiply impaired students, build a greenhouse to allow year-round gardening activities accessible to all, introduce healthy, ethnically diverse, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables to our students.

The Rice School

The habitat is envisioned as a place for students to interact with nature and learn in the process. In a busy urban city the opportunity for students to learn naturally is limited. This is intensified by the fact that as a magnet school, all of the students spend a portion of the day being transported to and from the school. Many come from neighborhoods that prevent them from getting outside and playing after school.
