Garden Classrooms

Sherman Oaks Elementary Garden Program of San Jose

Our school was a benifactor of the local Measure G in which we had a new garden constructed in 2012. We are just getting underway to develop a garden curriculum, design our first garden and to show our school pride in trying to make our students of the future shine with a better understanding of the environment and it's impact on the world.
