Cobb Mountain Elementary School

The purpose of the Cobb Mountain Elementary school garden is to create and sustain an inviting, engaging and instructive outdoor organic classroom for the education and pleasure of our students. The garden is used to supplement and enhance core curriculum in addition to producing nutritious, sustainably grown produce for the cafeteria and community. Students, teachers and community members are involved in every aspect of the garden's growth and development including learning about nutritious food choices, planning the garden, planting, tending, harvesting, and preparing healthy foods. As is mentioned in a recent article about Cobb Mtn. Elementary School Garden in the Santa Rosa Press Democrat (www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20120914/ARTICLES/120919741), "teachers (at Cobb School) have increasingly come to use the garden to support the standard curriculum".
