About the Program: 

Our goals are to intensify our use of the garden to grow more healthy food for students and to provide more students with opportunities to participate in the garden in a hands-on manner. Thus far we have concentrated on building the garden and establishing it as a key part of the school community. The project is in a prime location and moment; it could be the focal point of intergenerational and multi-cultural community activities as well as the lifeblood of interdisciplinary learning at EECS.
