About the Program: 

The Greenhouse will enable Columbine Elementary teachers and Growing Gardens staff to teach gardening, healthy eating and food education lessons throughout the entire school year that meet the State of Colorado Learning Standards in a fun, hands-on way. We believe this will greatly benefit our student population (about 500 students annually) and translate to healthier, more successful students. The Columbine Greenhouse will also provide an excellent outdoor classroom̂
