MUSE School

Our garden has two main goals. The first is to educate and inspire our students to grow food and embrace a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition. The second is to act as a resource for our community by providing access to free vegetables and knowledge to grow gardens. Our resident expert will teach and inspire our students to grow their own food. This will all be done with education intentionally built in to each step of the project. Building and supporting community is key to the success of our program. Students, staff and parents will work with volunteers to build the garden initially. Students will then grow the vegetables as part of their school year curriculum. The produce that is grown will be in part donated to a local food bank and in part sold to a local (already committed) restaurant to help sustain the program. The garden will host free quarterly workshops that will teach the community how to build and maintain gardens and incorporate proper nutrition into their lives.
