About the Program: 

The goal of this garden is to provide a venue in which students may engage as stewards helping to restore habitat, build soil and mitigate climate change impacts. With the integration of multi-disciplinary curriculum focused on expanding ecological awareness, we hope to inspire a greater love and appreciation for nature. By providing a context of sustainable relationship with our bioregion in subjects such as hydrology, climate, biology, and ethnobotany, the garden will enable students to become more environmentally responsible global citizens. This grant will enable us to expand the garden infrastructure and educational capacity of curriculum development for years to come, expanding the potential to feed the school community.
