Cleveland Elementary School

Cleveland Elemantary is in an urban setting in Oklahoma City with enrollment of 350 to 400.  The school yard garden is 2 raised beds and a large terraced area on a hill. We are growing vegetables and herbs and using the space as an outdoor classroom.

Our garden program goals are to promote overall healthy lifestyles choices and wellness to our students. We strive to be an access point for fresh fruits and vegetables and increase consumption in our students’ families; and to show the journey from seed to table. We envision our garden as a mechanism to increase awareness of healthy choices, sustainable environmental practices, and academic achievement. We also have goals for community engagement with partnerships for basic maintenance and farmer’s markets.
