Evansdale Elementary

Evansdale's vision for the school garden is a thriving garden and "learning lab" where students and community members come together to learn and grow. The goals are to expand on the rich educational and cultural offerings that are already part and parcel of the Evansdale educational experience. As a Science Magnet school, Evansdale is in a unique position to connect the school garden to science education. For years the school has had a thriving "green team" program that focuses on "reduce, reuse, recycle" and values conservation and sustainability. The garden will extend those activities into growing food, caring for their planet, and supporting a sustainable food system. The planned Harvest Day celebration will be a culmination of these activities. The partnership with the Tucker Farmers Market will connect the school to farmers, producers, and artisans in the food industry to further extend those opportunities to make connections among educational and hands-on activities.
