Captain Cooper Children's Garden
The Captain Cooper Children's garden is a beautiful garden with a view of the Big Sur valley and a peak of the Pacific Ocean. We grow a variety of plants in our garden including asparagus, lettuce, cabbage, basil, rosemary, corn, mint, squash, beans, lemons, oranges, persimmons, apples, blackberries and much much more. Students learn to propagate plants in our greenhouse. They learn to compost and ensure plants are receiving the nutrients they need.
The goals of the Captain Cooper Children's Garden are to introduce sustainability principles into our children's education. We believe that institutions should teach young people to contribute to their communities and the well being of the planet, through daily personal action.
