Garden Classrooms

Einstein Edible School Yard

Started in 2009, the Einstein Edible School Yard involves all 8th graders and some 7th graders directly in organic vegetable gardening throughout the school year. It is based on the ESY in Berkeley and the principles in Richard Louv's book, Last Child in the Woods. The gardens teach about water quality, care of the soil, basic life skills, self-confidence, health and nutrition, and leadership. Involvement in the gardens also increases school attachment for increased academic achievement. They are also used for field stuides in science classes.
