Salem Middle School

The garden would open up a new world to students who have not had the opportunity to garden/experience what they plant grow and harvest. They will take pride in donating to community. The garden would provide hands on food education to bridge the gap from classroom to lunchroom. We are also dedicated to providing fresh fruit and vegetables to populations that do not have access to these. Our partnerships with Whole Foods Market, The Jamie Oliver Food Revolution and the Wake County PTA Council will ensure a great connection with our community. We will empower our students/staff with hands on food education/giving back. Students will become interested in gardening, learn about new food they might not have tried/ see the rewards of their work in the garden/garden club/garden. We will involve special needs classes to work in the garden on a daily basis.Education will include:composting,recycling,soil, irrigation, hands on and visual science classroom lessons.
