About the Program: 

The goal of Hope High's garden revitalization project is to transform the current Hope Garden into a sustainable working garden which will continue to produce food, curriculum and arts materials for a collaborative multi-discipline nutrition, agricultural, horticultural therapy, and arts infused program which began in the Winter quarter 2014.

Goals of the Garden:
-- Create a garden accessible to all students;
-- Provide students with adaptive learning experiences using materials grown and sourced from their community garden;
-- Assist students in the continuation of designing, creating and maintaining a working garden and natural plant area while learning the process for extended use and care;
-- Create a resource for the school community that inspires creativity, art making, exploration and life-skills learning.
