About the Program: 

Carl Sandburg High School's purpose of having a garden (Project Green) is to provide fresh produce to pantries in need. We specifically wanted to help our local Orland Pantry. The Orland Pantry is a non-profit organization that provides food for the less fortunate. Having a garden at our school will provide us with fresh fruits and vegetables that the pantry will always have access to.
Along with providing fresh produce to our community members, Project Green will provide valuable knowledge to students of every content area. Every curriculum area would be able to contribute and develop content that directly relates to either the creation, maintenance, distribution, or overall experience of a school run garden.
