About the Program: 

With the help of this grant we hope to involve all 250 students enrolled in our K-12 school district in our garden program. The garden will serve as an outdoor classroom for a range of interdisciplinary studies. It will supplement our school food services department with breakfast and lunch options as well as healthy classroom snacks. Locally grown produce will be made available to the community. And the garden will demonstrate the viability of small scale sustainable organic agriculture.
