About the Program: 

Our school has had small square foot gardens for the past 2 years. With new classroom buildings now in place, we are planning to expand the garden area, incorporating permaculture systems, fruit trees and other perrennial plants, in addition to constructing new, more permanent square foot gardens for vegetables. This grant would allow us to set up the proper foundation for the area, purchase trees and plants, and purchase necessary materials for constructing the square foot beds and soil mixture. It would also allow us to establish an area for garden tool storage, as well as purchasing the necessary tools and hoses, etc.
