About the Program: 

The purpose and goal of the garden is to bring the joy of gardening and food production to the children of White Oaks through an educational curriculum that meets key FOSS standards (our current science program). Currently our garden program curriculum is only utilized in the third grade. This grant would allow us to expand the program to additional grades. Eventually, we would like to have our garden program available for all grades at White Oaks (K-4). Our district is moving towards a Project Based Learning platform and gardening ties closely to this method.
