Carver Community School Garden

Carver Community School created their garden in the spring of 2012. Ray Meylor, of Pheasants Forever, and Ms. Hogan, second grade teacher at Carver, helped Des Moines FoodCorps break ground in April. Parents also supported the garden by trading watering duties for ownership of 4 raised beds. This year, the garden will gain support from the Boys & Girls Club, with programming happening throughout the season. Des Moines FoodCorps also teaches Pick a Better Snack at Carver throughout the winter. The program encourages students to eat their fruits and veggies and have memorable experiences with healthy food.
