Episcopal Day School

Our goal is to enhance the Episcopal Day School garden program, engage and empower our students, their families and the surrounding neighborhood in ways that will improve their overall health. We'll expand our garden program to include our younger students adding a sensory garden to the kinder natural playscape area, and we will integrate garden concepts into the curriculum to stimulate learning in all subject areas. Our community has an above normal occurance of diabetes that can be directly related to eating habits and lifestyle. Adding to our edible garden beds and involving the community may reverse these threats by providing a source of fresh foods and create a health-conscious network as well as provide a safe option for physical activity.

This program is supported by Rio Bravo Wildlife Institute.
