About the Program:
The E.J. Patten Garden Project's goal is to support students in learning about "where our food comes from!" Our students have a hands on experience from starting our seeds indoors, to nurturing seedlings and finally planting and maintaining our raised bed garden. The garden is a magical place for our kids to learn about the plant process, interdependence of all living things and the importance of eating healthy organic vegetables for ourselves and our environment. We hope to continue and connect with more schools that are keeping their cities "green" and helping all communities gain access to healthy organic produce.
