Garden Classrooms

Boys & Girls Club of Denison Victory Garden

We established a small victory garden 2 years ago in the backyard of the Boys & Girls Club.   Club members planted the seeds, tended the garden and when vegetables began blooming they were very excited and were able to take home 1 or 2 pieces of the vegetables.   Our problem our garden is not big enough to support the large amount of kids we serve .   Nor do the parents know how to cook and serve the vegetables we send home.especially squash.

We are a parent cooperative preschool in Colorado Springs, CO.  Gardening is an important part of our school curriculum, the emphasis being on teaching the children at a young age healthy eating habits and how our produce is grown. We have a wonderful fenced garden with raised beds, but are trying to find ways to maximise our growing season and make it a continuum even though the children are gone over the summer and are in a different class the following school year.
