Boscawen Elementary School

One goal for the Healthy You Garden Project is for students at Boscawen Elementary School to have hands-on experience with growing and eating foods that are good for their health. We made a good start toward this goal during the 2011-2012 school year. With these additional funds, we will be able ensure better success for our efforts through improvements to our soil, reliable irrigation, and additional means of protecting our seedlings as they germinate and grow.

Another goal for the Healthy You Garden Project is to involve the larger Boscawen community in growing healthy foods, particularly families unable to garden at home, offering the use of the hoop house to start seeds that can then be planted in community garden plots. Again, the additional funds from this grant will help improve our existing hoop house so that community members can have positive, reliable results when germinating and growing seedlings.
