About the Program: 

Each year Todd works with the 5th grade class to design and create a garden for habitat enhancement and service learning. The goal is to continue the K-12 gardening program reduce area that must be maintained by lawn equipment service learning and habitat restoration. Our idea is HORTUS: Historic Orchards Replicating Time Using Science - to create an edible forest - use heirloom fruit and berry trees with fruit and berry producing perennials as the understory. Harvests go to a food bank.
