Bridgehampton Edible School Garden

The Bridgehampton Edible School Garden is comprised of a 1,000 square foot greenhouse and a 4,000 square foot garden. It serves the entire school in various ways: teachers take students there for lessons, there is a high school elective taught in the greenhouse and there are after school programs utilizing the garden/greenhouse. Our program is part of a network of local schools with garden programs.

The garden is used as a classroom, gathering place and production center for the school cafeteria. Like any valuable endeavor, there have been many learning curves while working on this project. We started slowly and with much help and assistance, we now have a community of students, parents and faculty who have embraced the garden and its potential as a learning tool and gathering place for all.
