Bethany School Learning Garden

What is the Bethany School Learning Garden Project?

Primarily designed to support the academic achievement of Bethany Elementary students, the Bethany School Learning Garden Project also hopes to support our community's desire to foster environmental awareness in our youth and sustainable practices in our school's operations. Coordinated and administered by volunteers, the garden aims to:

• Provide students with the opportunity to grow and eat fresh produce
• Enhance the curriculum by connecting it to the natural world
• Expose students to hands-on environmental education
• Provide students with an opportunity for service projects

How will a garden do all that?

By:

• Holding garden produce taste testing events
• Offering students and teachers interactive tours of the garden that help students make associations relevant to their learning targets
• Establishing the first ever after school Garden Club
• Inviting students to grow, harvest and deliver garden produce to the local Fork It Over food bank
• …and so much more!
