About the Program: 

To create an accessible, inclusive food and native plant garden with the help of the community that promotes food security and environmental education, provides a safe, natural outdoor gathering space, and inspires families, students, and seniors to eat healthier local fresh fruit and vegetables. We will continually strive to accomplish the goals set forth in this Vision Statement so that they may be fully realized. Each class will use the garden during school hours as part of their curriculum to learn about the science of plants and life cycles, health and nutrition, and to benefit from spending time outdoors in a green space. This grant will help make our garden goal possible by allowing us to source building materials and tools for the garden, obtain plants and soil amendments, and create the garden space that the students can use in the future.
