About the Program: 

CES's goal is to develop a vegetable garden that can be utilized by students, faculty and staff; along with lunchroom presentation. We currently have an aesthetically pleasing garden, but our desire is to make it a true teaching garden where the community can benefit from its bounty and the children learn the importance of sustainability, health & nutrition, along with their standards for science, math, reading, and other curriculum introduced through the program. In addition to the vegetable gardening, we hope to create a native plant demo garden to help address the growing concern of Nature Deficiency Disorder! We're also hopeful to launch a Jr. Master Gardener's Program to nurture the seeds planted in our children.
