Beverly Woods Elementary

At Beverly Woods Elementary, we are passionate about teaching the whole child. The goal of our garden is to improve the overall health and wellness of children through:
• Education about nutritious food sources (not just from the grocery store!),
• Hands-on learning outside while growing healthy food,
• Literally tasting the fruits (and vegetables) of their work.
