About the Program: 

The ACG's main goal is to educate the students of Alamosa Elementary on the benefits of gardening. The free and reduced lunch rate is 82% demonstrating a need for gardening as a self-sustainable way of life. The school has committed to provide 10 hours of garden education for each of the 1043 students and the ACG is the main teacher for this curriculum. This grant will provide the capacity needed to expand our program such as tools and staff support.
