Belmont Day School Garden

The school garden serves three goals for our school community. First, it is a good source for our lunch program. The kitchen staff serves healthy foods, often locally sourced and from our own garden. Another goal is to use the garden as an outdoor classroom, a way to connect to curriculum across many age groups and disciplines, a place to guide students in community service, environmental stewardship, and food justice issues. A third goal is to grow vegetables to use for our school outreach efforts.
