Garden Classrooms

Our goal for this grant is to expand the garden and improve access for all our students. The grant would help us expand the garden by allowing us to build four garden beds and making it wheelchair accessible for our Life Skills students. In addition we would like to build a rain water collection system to help teach students conservation and sustainability.

Red Lodge Public Schools

The goal of the garden is to provide youth in the Red Lodge area with an opportunity to learn about where their food comes from. As more local food moves into the schools the connection will be further strengthened when students are able to contribute and participate in the full growing cycle. Students will participate through classroom lessons in the garden after school programs and summer activities. The project will also support the community through connections with the local food bank.

Our goal with the garden is to be able to teach the kids at Raines that the foods we eat grow from the ground and that healthy food will sustain healthy bodies for the future.

Through tasting new fruits and veggies they grow and cooking demonstrations this grant will allow kids to see that healthy whole foods are delicious and possible to access in their community.
