Gardens of Well-B.E.A.N. (well-Balanced, Exercise and Nutrition)

Forty First grade and thirty ESE Pre-K students synergized as "Budding Buddies" to grow and harvest vegetables in raised garden beds. The nutrition garden called, "Synergy Soup and Salsa Garden," is one of three garden projects featured at Fred Wild Elementary. Forty fourth grade students planted a sensory/butterfly garden (gardening for balance). These gardens were added to an existing nature/fitness trail. The overall theme of our gardens is based on developing student leadership through gardening. We are a "Leader in Me" school and teach Covey's 7 Habits.

Cape Fear Farmacy

Vision: To create and sustain a community garden for the production of food for those hungry in body and a place of beauty for those hungry in spirit. The community gardens are an avenue for sharing gardening knowledge, promoting self-sufficiency, providing healthy and productive activities for our youth and fostering a greater sense of community in Wilmington and surrounding areas. Partnership with local businesses and nonprofit organizations will ensure growth and continuity of the gardens.

Emerson Community Garden

The Emerson Community Garden was constructed in the spring of 2013. It was started with the support and passion of our late principal Dan Bergman. Parents and teachers have worked together to build a progessivley more sustainable garden science program. One goal of the program is to be able to have the garden open for exploration during rescess. We believe this is a time for free exploration and a chance to find ownership and responsibility. Another goal is to implement hands on science through the garden.

School To Fork

S.C.R.A.P. Gallery's School To Fork is a sustainable garden program for local schools where kids learn to grow what they eat and eat what they grow!  We work with students and teachers to develop on site, drought tolerant gardens, from raised beds to keyhole gardens. Our goals are to establish a connection to nature and environmental stewardship incorporating the following principles:
