About the Program:

Our goal is to ensure longevity of the garden and foster integration with school curriculum. The grant would support acquisition of: 1) tools and tool storage; and 2) materials for indoor and winter growing. Currently working in the garden requires tools from elsewhere reducing the ease with which teachers and classes can engage with the garden. With our short growing season curriculum integration requires materials that integrate indoor and winter growing with the garden.
