About the Program: 

Our school population consists of many refugee families from at least 40 countries. There are over 40 different dialects spoken. It is our goal to develop an international garden showcasing the many different cultures of our school community by sharing different plants and vegetables. At the same time, showing the students where food comes from. Many don't know things grow in the ground. They think it comes from the corner grocery store. We would like to share the produce with the school students and families and possibly selling our wares to the teachers (if successful harvest).
