About the Program: 

Our goal is for ACS students to learn about the importance of growing and eating local foods and to understand agricultural seasons. The garden program will also enhance academic studies: students will integrate their experience into the classroom by writing and drawing about the garden; students will use math to design the garden plot and planting diagrams; students will apply natual science as they dig into the earth and learn about plant varieties and seasons.
