Guadalupe Montessori School

The goal of the GMS garden is to grow fresh produce for our school's lunch program, provide educational and enrichment opportunities for the school and the community, and to market excess produce and create value added products to support the garden.

Our goal for this grant is to purchase the materials and build a production greenhouse. This project would have benefits both for the school and for the community.

Education- We would structure the construction of the greenhouse as a community workshop, inviting interested community members to participate in the actual construction of the greenhouse.

Food production- A greenhouse would allow us to extend our growing season and increase vegetable production, not only getting a head start on our warm season garden, but enabling us to grow greens and other cold hardy crops throughout the coldest weather!

Curricular Connections- a greenhouse would provide another unique growing environment for students to explore, observe and work with.
