About the Program: 

The garden plots are used in classroom and in the after school club with the Garden to Cafeteria via Slow Foods. The after school club is in need of cooking utensils to learn how to prepare the foods grown. This list is detailed in their manual for 600$ Having a highly gifted program within the school, students are matched with a professionals from their choice of career to explore a topic of passion. One student designed an outdoor classroom setting that would operate as a meeting/gathering place for classrooms to discuss and reflect upon the activity/lesson in the garden. This design includes large rocks for seating and a podium for presentations in the center. We already planted trees last year to give the space its' structure. Due to the magnet program and the location of the school(inner city) we have a very diverse population ethically and economically. A diversity group has developed some sculptures to represent this diversity as a center piece for the garden.
