Lynn English High School

1) To convert an unused courtyard space which is currently a dumping ground for soccer goals, windblown trash, leaves, etc into a vibrant, green space highlighting the visual attractiveness of urban gardens.

2) To model for our school's learning community the importance and simplicity of growing tasty, nutritious vegetables.

3) To grow a variety of relatively low-maintenance, high yield vegetables which will be harvested and served in our school's cafeteria to augment our "Healthy Lifestyles" campaign.

4) To expand the scope of the LEHS Garden Project to include the families of LEHS students living in the vicinity of the school interested in planting and maintaining a small garden plot at Lynn English High School garden site.

The Whole Kids Garden Grant will enable us to begin this project by allowing us to purchase the lumber, soil, and seeds to build 4 to 6 4' X 8' raised garden beds on a currently unused space at Lynn English High School.
