Garden Classrooms

Golden Sierra School Garden

We have a small school garden and a greenhouse that we were able to put in thanks to a Seeds for Change Grant and help from a Americorps volunteer who now works with the UCDavis extension. We have had a change in staffing and I would like to take on the garden in my science classes and keep it going.We have 4 raised beds that we have used for green and lettuces that were used in the cafeteria and we would like to grow plants in the green house for fundraisers.
