Garden Classrooms

Marshall School & Community Garden

The Marshall School & Community Garden is located at Marshall High School and serves the Searcy County School District in the heart of the Arkansas Ozark Mountains. 

New Franklin School Garden

Beginning with our kindergarteners in the spring (looking forward to the following fall), our students plant potatoes and pumpkins in order to pass those crops on to the incoming kindergarten class for future harvest. The incoming class of kindergarteners harvest the crops and enjoy mashed potatoes and pumpkin seeds that were the fruit of the labor of the previous class. In first grade, students will plant spring peas as the snows melt, and future plans include integrating our science weather unit (including air temperature, soil temperature, and rainfall) with graphing plant growth.
