Garden Classrooms

Round Rock Opportunity Center

Our school the Round Rock Opportunity Center, has over the past four years built a garden spot from a vacant lot. The focus has been on wildflowers, native plants and other decorative plants. We have an unused greenhouse and this year would wish to expand our student's efforts to include starting, raising and cultivating vegetables, leafy greens, peppers and herbs. The products of this garden will be used to supplement school food program or, if sufficient, for distribution to local charities.
