Albuquerque Academy

We have a small greenhouse and garden plot that students help maintain. Our goal is to expand to grow food for the dining hall and to sell at the weekly farmers market on campus. We have been working to convince the dining halls to use our local, healthy food--higher yield would increase our ability to do this.

We will use grant funds to expand our Abundant Harvest garden. It requires significantly less water and space than traditional gardens, allowing us to increase yield, while using less water--critical critical in our desert climate--and teaching students about saving water. We would also invest in more native seeds
