Cory’s garden is located on the Southwest side of our building, off of Steele St. Our in-garden program is primarily for grades 1, 2, and 3 at the present time. Grades 4-5 are involved in the Youth Farmers’ Market.
I am the Career Technical Education culinary instructor for an inner city high school. We lost our horticulture program and since I have a background in horticulture the school has giving me the green houses and part of the campus to use for my program. We are establishing a student-run café where I'd like to serve the produce we grow. In addition, due to the fact that we are in a low socioeconomic area of the city and have a large Hispanic and Asian student body, I also wanted to start a community garden on campus to get parents involved in their child's school.
Bradley is beginning an after-school garden club for 4th and 5th graders this February, which will include gardening, cooking and science lessons. Additionally, the garden is used for art classes, and produce is sold at a Youth Farmers’ Market. A May Day celebration is planned.

Our school garden is new to the school and we are still exploring the best ways to incorporate it into our academic learning. We have just built compost bins and are excited to use them! We are in the process of getting our school on board to compost our lunch waste and waste from our bi-weekly fruit and vegetable snacks. Seeds for a salad garden have been planted and will be ready to plant out in the spring!
