About the Program:
Our garden program started with some fruit trees donated by the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and parents building an edible garden next to the lunch arbor. We continued to build the orchard and many gardens throughout the campus including six international gardens.
Our garden educator with volunteers teaches biweeekly classes to the 3rd grade and kinder classes, 8 classes. Other grades intergrate gardening, nutrition, environmental education occasionally.
