Bartlett Courtyard Garden

Built in the spring of 2015, this garden is literally in the center of the school in their courtyard. It is surrounded by all the classrooms and even the cafeteria so the students can always see it. It has become a big part of the culture in the school and on any given day you will see classrooms out there exploring.

Maple Gardens

We have an outdoor classroom with many learning opportunities for our students. We have raised vegetable beds, herb, shade, butterfly and bird gardens, fruit trees, blueberries and raspberries. We have two areas for classrooms to gather, one with picnic tables and the other is a half circle of granite seats. In the Spring of 2016 we got 12 chicks and a coop. The girls started laying at 18 weeks old and everyday we get 8-11 eggs. We have students involved in data collection on egg production, pre-vocational activities in the daily care and maintenance of the gardens and chickens.

Collicot School Garden

Our school garden sprouted in the Spring of 2015 with the help of curious students, interested parents, and supportive administration. It's been great to watch students explore and learn in the new garden space.
