Browne Academy

Our vision for the Browne Sustainable Garden is to provide an interactive outdoor learning space for students to connect with the food they eat, experiment and explore a variety of natural process, develop an appreciation for nature, and thrive. Through this project we hope to provide a garden bed for every grade in the school, K-8, to enhance the curriculum and engage students in their learning. We also plan to establish a compost system to recycle garden waste as well as fruit and vegetable scraps from our hot lunch program providing a supply of nutrient-rich, chemical-free soil for our garden. We also hope to produce enough produce to be able to donate food grown by our students to a local food bank. Above all, we hope our garden provide an opportunity for students to become active participants in their learning.
