Barnette Elementary School

The goal of Barnette's Buster Blossoms is to incorporate healthy, wellness and nutrition throughout the school and across all grade levels. We are hoping Buster's Blossoms will bring new partnerships from people throughout the community in growing, learning and eating produce provided by Buster's Community Garden. By teaching students the science behind vegetable growth and the wellness in making healthy choices and the philanthropy of sharing and doing good for the earth and community.

We believe the weekly visits of classrooms to the greenhouse and garden will directly benefit students in math, science, reading, writing and most importantly health and wellness. If a student is not fed, and not fed with healthy foods, it is very hard to be successful. By teaching students the garden and all aspects, we hope to provide a well rounded student to our community.
