Garden Classrooms

Guy Lee Elementary Gardening

Our program consists of different activities.  Spring 2014, we launched a more official garden including (6) 4'x 8'x 18" garden beds to start with & plans for expansion.  A butterfly garden, outdoor classroom space, strawberry bed & (2) 6'x 8' greenhouses are in future plans.

4th/5th Grades are involved in 'Farm to School' & after-school STEAM program gardening class.

E.L. Haynes Public Charter School Gardens

At E.L. Haynes Public Charter School, our herb, vegetable, and fruit garden provides a living classroom to our elementary and middle school teachers. The teachers use the garden to strengthen their core curriculum instruction and to excite and engage our students in learning. Further, the garden connects students to the source of their food before it hits their plates.

Rose Hill Montessori Primary Class Garden

In our third year our garden (and it's helpers) have definitely made progress. This year our class of 25 children, ages 3 - 6, planted strawberries, peas, beans, blackberry bushes, radishes, carrots, lettuce and flowers. Today, June 4, they were able to pick a few strawberries and radishes, and the rest of our garden seems to be thriving.
