Bartle Elementary

Highland Park's three school gardens (Irving for the youngest grades, Bartle Elementary, and the Middle/High School garden) are a collaboration between a municipal entity, Sustainable Highland Park, and Edible Gardens, a local grass roots initiative. Together, they are committed to achieving a plan for a healthy environment, healthy people, a strong, engaged community and social fairness and equity. This initiative builds participation and collaboration between the schools and the larger community, with a focus on health and wellness, nutrition, and food security.

The three school gardens were initially funded with a grant obtained by

Sustainable Highland Park and are going into their fourth growing season.

Funding from the Whole Kids Foundation will go towards the re-design and installation of

the Bartle Elementary School Garden, which has been dismantled for relocation due to

construction at the neighboring police station. Your funding is crucial to this effort.
