West Point Elementary School Garden Project

West Point Elementary School Garden is beginning it's third season of in-ground, organic gardening. We have spent the first two years building, cultivating and amending our very poor soil. Despite this, we have been able to grow many vegetables and fruits including tomatoes, squash, peas, corn, cucumbers, strawberries, potatoes, onions and garlic. Most of the harvest is eaten right there in the garden, but some is added to our salad bar in the school cafeteria.
