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.
