About the Program: 

International Baccalaureate (IB) programs offer an ideal frame for school garden programs. Through learning organic gardening this midcity San Diego cluster of IB schools (Birney Einstein & Jefferson) will share resources in a 9 mo. pilot project with monthly gardening and tastings of selected harvests of the months. Students will help create harvest cards featuring the produce with a local chef's recipe. Produce will be harvested at the schools supplemented by local produce for tastings
