Linkhorn Park Elementary

Our garden will be at the certain of a diverse program including studies in sustainability, caring for the environment, health and nutrition. Students will learn problem solving skills, communication, creativity, critical thinking, social responsibility, global awareness and much more.

In a program centralized around a living garden, students become more conscious of life systems and their own place in the world. A garden is a microcosm of our approach to living on this planet. A child's early experience with nature influences long-term comfort with and respect for the natural world. A program like this creates "stewards of the earth", children interested in sustainable practices in life that help insure their own health and the planet's.

With the help of this grant we hope to keep our existing program and garden running, and to expand with more garden beds, edible landscaping, benches, etc. to create a fully functional outdoor classroom for the whole school to learn from and enjoy.
