About the Program: 

We have had a garden for 2 years but have run out of funds. We use our garden to promote healthy eating and environmental education. We also use the garden to help students learn responsibility. The students plant, tend, water and harvest all the vegetables.
In addition we use our garden to teach life science. Classes go at scheduled times with their science journals to track progress, and learn about the process of growing plants.
