About the Program: 

Our garden holds activities 3 times per year that allow students to learn about plant biology, sustainable living, and environmental responsibility. As an urban school, many students do not have yards at all, have never even walked on grass, much less dug in the dirt to plant, or experience the joy of seeing gardens grow as a result of their own toiling (and tilling). Our goal is to put a plant in each child's hand, so they can experience this and understand, in a practical way, that the Earth is our responsibility, and we rely on it to provide essential resources.
