About the Program: 

Our garden's goal is very simple: to provide a hands-on experience for all of our students (from the preschool to the grade 8 students) and to help introduce them to the concept of farming in town, to provide them with a place to gather outside and discover how to grow your own food. The garden will provide fresh produce to serve a salad bar for our students in May, June and September and will help a few different families in need every summer. This grant will give us the funds necessary to launch our project and build our first garden beds, and to hire the help and guidance of professionals within our francophone community.
