About the Program: 

Our goal for the ADSS School Garden program is to provide students with project-based and environmental education opportunities that integrate the school garden with academic and elective learning outcomes. Our garden will be a place of learning and growing where education is hands-on, observable, and multi-disciplinary. A place where science, mathematics, social studies, English, Home Economics, and physical education are blended into a learning experience that teaches students the roots of learning, essential life skills around food production, cycling of nutrients, as well as a deep connection to the land and the importance of the environment for our community, our society, and our world.
