About the Program: 

Our goal is to create a garden on school grounds for all students, staff, parents and neighbours to enjoy. As well as, providing an opportunity for all the students to learn more about food sources, develop life skills that can be used now and in the future and increase their awareness of how different foods taste. Throughout this, we would like to develop a sense of community and a life long enjoyment of gardening. With the grant, we would be able to build more garden boxes allowing more children "hands on" space in the garden. This program is supported by .
