Charles E. Teach School

Our school moved to a new campus this year, leaving behind an established garden & program just outside the classroom doors of our previous facility. Creating a new school garden is part of the master plan at Teach's new campus.

At our previous campus we had a weekly garden program, Garden Coordinators and curriculum, parent volunteers, outdoor classroom, greenhouse, compost bed coordinating with the lunch area, Green Week celebrations including agricultural stations, plant & seedling fundraisers and more. We hope to recreate as much of this as possible and revive the program at our new campus.

Our goal is to incorporate the garden into the outdoor & lunch areas once again. Having the garden adjacent to the lunch area enables the students to freely partake in their edible garden work and promotes healthy eating at lunchtime, as well as facilitating the composting of their appropriate lunch waste. Grant monies will help us buy new gardening tools, building supplies, compost and more.
