Myself and four other college students from The University of Kansas are stablishing a kitchen garden at Wildwood Outdoor Education Camp. Our garden will be a classroom to teach the campers about self-sustaining gardening and better eating habits. Our goals are to provide an outdoor garden classroom to instill gardening principles in kids at a young age. We are currently in the beginning stages of our project. We intend to have our garden constructed and planted by the end of March. After this step we will create a program to teach the counselors and campers about gardening techniques.

chiloquin school garden project

Chiloquin Elementry School is a small rural town in the Klamath basin of southern Oregon. we are 30 miles away from any grocery stores and orgainc produce. The school garden project was formed because there is a great need for food security here. We have started composting saving 15 to 17 gallons of food a day from the garbage and sink disposal as well as established 2 acres at the school to use for growing food and planting native plants . We are said to live in one of the poorest counties in Oregon.  Chiloquin is the homelands of the Klamath tribal peoples.
