About the Program: 

Our goal is to plant a sustainable garden to promote nutrition and wellness for all students at Beattie. Our plan will provide an integrated hands-on learning experience for every student. We will grow a garden in an existing outdoor classroom that utilizes three harvest periods intoduces variables in an empirical scientific growing study and uses propagation of seeds from the first year's crop for subsequent crops. This project will include the community through mentorship opportunities.
