Wang Garden

The Wang School was the first school garden we ever helped build. Going into its third year, the garden is still proving to be a place for great hands on education. Placed right behind the school where students have recess, the garden has become a normal stopping ground for everyone. 

Lowell High School Career Academy Garden

LHSCA is an alternative high school for students who moved from the main high school. Since its beginning, the garden has become a very popular place for students. It was built right in front of the school so students see it every time they walk into the school.

STEM Garden

The STEM school is a unique school given its small population size and its practice of STEM education at such an early age. Because of that, the garden has become a big resource for the school. It has become a place for science experiments but also a place for students to learn about healthy foods.
