About the Program: 

The goal of the Canyon Harvest Project is to add a permanent, heavy-duty shed for storing garden and education materials and a drip irrigation system to reduce water runoff and educate students on the importance of water resources and to minimize mildew on plants. Such a system would allow us to continue growing crops over the summer holiday. Summer crops include squash, pumpkin and corn that could be used in a fall harvest celebration. Additionally, we would like to purchase soil, compost and seedlings to replenish our containers throughout the school year. A Whole Kids Foundation grant would allow us to some further these goals.

This program is supported by CANYON SCHOOL BOOSTER CLUB.
