Firefly Garden

Our school garden was established in March 2011.  We took a unused piece of turf and transformed it into an edible school garden.  The garden is named the Firefly Garden.  John Simmons who owns the Firefly restuarants in Las Vegas donated money for its start up.  We teach using the garden as a tool.  We grow our own vegetables and herbs.  The students also compost in the garden.  We have chefs come to the school and cook with the kids using what was harvested in the garden. Our students all use the garden starting from      Pre-K through fifth grade.  The students love working in the garden and are responsible for its care.
