Viewpoint School Garden

The Viewpoint School garden provides the opportunity for students, K through 12, to grow, cook and eat their own food.  Our lower and primary school students visit and work in the garden in their science classes.  Our middle and upper school students participate in the garden as clubs in their respective divisions.  We are continually expanding our program and hoping to add an elective focused on gardening in the near future.  We hope that students become more connected to their food, the seasons, and the outdoors.

Katherine Michiels School

At KMS, we have a teaching kichen as well as a garden classroom. We encourage all teachers and students to work in the garden and use it as a form of enrichment for their regular classes. The pre-k class has the largest role in maintaing the garden with our two garden teachers. The teaching kitchen has a program that offers after school cooking classes to students at KMS and from other local schools. We use the herbs, vegetables, and flowers from our garden in cooking and for more artistic pieces.
