About the Program: 

The mission of the RV Learning Garden:

1.    Create an outdoor classroom where students can learn and apply lessons 

from the California State curriculum. In addition, continue the enhancement 

of Special Education classes by giving students the opportunity to seed, 

weed, water and harvest crops.

2.    Teach children about sustainability, local and organically grown food as 

well as environmental stewardship.

3.    Expose children to good nutrition and healthy eating habits by having them 

plant their own food, watch it grow and then eat it.
