About the Program: 

The goal of the St. Martin's Community Garden is to involve students in an outdoor classroom setting in order to teach them the hands-on process of sustainable agriculture. The Community Garden Program is designed to teach students about and involve them in the practice of sustainable agriculture in order for them to gain a deeper appreciation for and understanding of the vital role these processes play in our daily lives. The purpose of the GardenSoxx is to make the garden relatively maintenance free, so that the students may spend more time learning about and nurturing their plants.
