Aquinas High School

Our teachers, students and community leaders wish to build a Learning Community Garden near Aquinas High School's main entrance. On the east side there will be fruit trees including four varieties of citrus, apple trees, peaches, apricots, nectarines and avocados. We plan to include a produce garden. We will have a tool shed, shade structures, and a solar unit for power. Our garden will educate our students and families on the importance of a healthy life-style, and will teach the community about healthy eating habits through the creation and presentation of the learning community garden. Our garden will provide food to those who are unable to obtain it elsewhere. Our garden will provide fruits and vegetables, enough to supplement students' families, and our local Mary's Mercy Center Food Bank committed to serve all races, creeds, and conditions of life, and extending unconditional love, acceptance, and respect to all who need assistance.
