About the Program:
This program is a semester-long gardening class for sixth-graders. Students start with soil and seeds and end the semester with recipes and appreciation for new foods. We use sustainable, low-impact practices including composting and rain barrel irrigation. We have created partnerships with many community agencies including local government, Master Gardeners, Lowe's, and others. The garden program is 100% funded through grants and donations.
