Armatage Montessori School

The Armatage Garden Project has two goals. The first is to engage our special needs students in the Garden Project. Armatage is fortunate to have two CLASS classrooms for students with developmental disabilities. This grant provides CLASS students with an opportunity to raise and harvest produce right outside their classroom window. In addition, those students will have the opportunity to mentor other students in planting the orchard and raised vegetable beds.

The second goal is to complete the infrastructure of the Armatage School Garden, installing the orchard, three additional raised beds, and three outdoor student work areas. The resulting garden will be an aesthetic and peaceful place where teachers, students, parents and the greater community can come together to work on the land and create learning opportunities about nutritious and healthy cooking, horticulture, and environmental stewardship.
