Conlee Elementary School

The ultimate goal of the garden and mini-orchard at Conlee Elementary School is to create a relationship between our students and the food they grow. This will not only culture a much needed respect for food, but children are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables they grow for themselves and make healthier choices in the future. Moreover, we believe that our kids can show their parents and families about the fun and tastiness in cooking fruits and veggies directly picked from the garden and we feel that this school garden could be used as a hub to outreach that idea of eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
