Jesse Sherwood Elementary

The goal of the garden at Sherwood School would be to engage the students in learning opportunities utilizing the garden. The garden will also be used to engage the parents, students and the community in order to create a strong bond as they plant and grow vegetables and flowers. Our primary goal is to increase students' understanding of and respect for nature. We would also like our students and the community to have a place where they can investigate, plan and nurture a garden. We envision a place that is designed, used and maintained by the children and the community. We hope that the garden is enjoyed by students with the help of teachers, parents, and the school community. The garden will create a positive, safe environment where the desires, dreams and garden creations will align with the pre-established learning goals of the school community. We envision giving the students the knowledge, opportunities, and expert resources they need to help design, build, and maintain a healthy garden.
