Garden Classrooms

Church Rock Elementary School Garden

 Church Rock Elementary School has a humble but prolific garden. It is small in size, but mighty in production and effect. At Church Rock, second and third grade champion teachers have been working in the garden for 2 years. Their students have grown strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and beans. Although not every student in every grade has had a chance to work in the garden, the teachers have organized a way for each student to taste the produce!
