Odyssey Community School Gardens

Odyssey Community School is a public charter school in Connecticut; we are in our 15th year and have recently expanded to be a K - 8 school.  We are in the process of obtaining funding to improve our grounds, and we would love to include teaching gardens in our plan.  Right now we only have a muddy field for kids to play in, and no gardens that kids and teachers can work in. 

GCCS Edible Schoolyard

In the planning stages of creating a garden to supplement our snack program. Students will learn about sustainability, healthy eating and gardening skills. Right now, our students can snack on mint leaves, are watching strawberries grow and chive blossoms bloom. Soon we will be planting watermelon for summer camp and bell peppers for our spring salads. We have a new volunteer who will help us build on our garden.

Creating a sustainable organic school garden

We are just begining to create our first school vegetable garden. We are working as a team to create the garden in hopes of moving to a community reform and outreach. We are working toward using collected rainwater and creating compost from school lunches to feed our garden. We are just in the very begining stages.
