About the Program:
Students benefit from our school garden in the classroom and after school. First and fourth grade students use the garden through every stage to grow plants and use the produce for classroom cooking. Our fifth graders also tend the garden every other week with Culinary Club. This after school club exposes students to where food comes from, how to grow their own food, and how to prepare complex dishes.
