In 2012, we are expanding our growing space to 16 beds.

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.

We study worms, weather, sunlight, and what our plants need to grow.
