About the Program: 

Our goal is to develop richer interactive garden experiences for the economically disadvantaged and autistic children at School 29. We will expand educational opportunities by providing garden supplies and by constructing trellises which will increase the amount of produce in the 13 raised beds. Garden harvests will be used in raw lunches such as salads which will be prepared by students. Finally we will buy worm farms to teach students about composting and waste management.
