About the Program: 

Garden Leader: Stephanie Walker – stephlpwalker@gmail.com

In 2006, 400 students participated in a planting day at the beginning of the season. Seven youth cared for the garden and ran a farmer’s market through the summer. Approximately 50 students through the Early Childhood Education, Special Education and Third Grade classes helped provide on-going care for the garden through the end of the school year. An average of 30 families per week purchased vegetables during the 10-week market season.
