About the Program: 

The Butler Garden space has laid dormant and over grown for 3-4 years. Our initial goals are:
1. To provide 120 Fifth grade students, in the middle of a metroplex, a space to cultivate soil through composting, and to plant edible vegetables and herbs they can water, weed, grow and harvest each Winter and Spring.
2. To provide a place for community members to share their gardening expertise with a student groups of scouts or future garden club participants.
This grant will provide money to purchase seating for 35 students in the garden space, clear trees that are shading our growing space and get sprinkler system in working order.
