About the Program: 

The goal of Belleair Elementary’s garden is to make it a usable learning space for school classrooms. Our current garden contains 6 above-ground beds previously installed by The American Heart Association. Beds are assigned to classrooms and teachers help students maintain the gardens. Recently, the water line connecting water access to the garden area was accidentally cut. This grant will help us re-establish this water line as well as provide funds to purchase seating and other resources to begin establishing an outdoor classroom gathering area. These resources will help transform our current outdoor garden space from one where classes spend a brief time into one where classes can spend hours learning from nature.
