About the Program: 

The goal of the Bachman Academy Horticulture/Garden program is to first teach students about sustainability and environmental stewardship. Secondly, the program increases the student's access to fresh produce and knowledge of native plants. Planning what to grow, seed propagation, soil testing, harvesting and more serve as a format to reinforce the traditional subjects of biology, physical science, chemistry and math. Lastly, students get the opportunity to enjoy the intrinsic benefits of gardening.
