My school garden / Ο σχολικός μου κήπος

I started building a school garden at the back yard of my school about 10 years ago (2006) and ever since it has become a year-round educational programme with impact in the lives of learners, teachers, school communities and organisations. It has tuned out to be a long standing commitment, which promotes innovation linked with formal, non-formal and informal teaching and learning activities, alongside with the building of communities of practice for sharing common interests, knowledge, skills, competences and the joy of learning in the field.

Quincy Plumas Charter School

We are in our first year of starting the garden program and have been doing everything with our students, from laying the irrigation to building the raised beds, hoop house and tool shed! We have even milled some of our wood for the tool shed and sitting areas.We have an incredible quarter acre with excellent sun exposure and access to water. We are experimenting with various organic and permaculture techniques, including vermiculture, hugelkultur, mulching, plant tea fertilizer, etc.

TPS School Garden

In August 2016, Trinity Prep began its school garden program by parterning with Fleet Farming of Orlando (http://fleetfarming.com/).  This garden is used extensively in the 6th grade curriculum and is available to all interested students, parents, faculty and staff at the school. The garden will also provide produce to the TPS Grille for special dishes.  We are brand new at this and are looking forward to seeing how a garden can transform our campus.

Students in grades 6-8 work in the school garden through their science classes and a Garden/Culinary Enrichment class.
