About the Program:
The garden grant will bring a deeper understanding of community and how many hands make light work. The process of creating a space for hands on learning and growing crop from seed to the bloom is invaluable in a child's foundation and gives a community a place to thrive. The children will experience an arc of hard work, dedication, failure, loss, and success ; an array of lifetime lessons. This garden will be a tangible dream for everyone involved.
Our goal for the City School garden is to produce a responsible amount of vegetables and fruit, while composting natural waste. We will try incorporate some of Rudolf Steiner's methods of biodynamic gardening.
