About the Program: 

Major Elementary has planted a native prairie garden/vegetable garden since 2009. This takes up an area of 1 800 square feet located at the rear of the school building. Funds for the initial lay out were provided through a scholarship associated with the Texas Wildlife Association. Students have planted weeded watered and harvested two crops per year each of the past two school years. The new vegetable garden was just planted in early October. We have had parent and student workdays.
