About the Program:
Our primary goal for the garden is to provide an outdoor classroom for students to study science (seed life cycles sun pattern tracking) math (spacing timing) health (eating fruits and vegetables) and to provide inspiration for art and journaling. The garden also provides students with job skills and leadership opportunities and increases physical activity during classes. Finally the garden increases parent and community involvement and positive interactions among staff and students.
