Clinton School

Our garden's goal is to introduce all of our students to the experience of planting seeds, watching them grow, enjoying the harvest, and learning to love fresh food. We would use the grant to expand from serving 260 students in 13 classrooms (kindergarten through second grade) to 600 students in 26 classrooms by adding our third- through fifth-grade classes to the program. This would require us to build 12 more beds. We would also like to install a sustainable watering system, to help us grow crops year-round. The grant will make it possible for our students to garden during every year of their time at the school, help us establish a sustainable system for maintaining the garden year-round, and help us grow more food for our students, their families and the community.
