About the Program: 

The goal of our garden project is to foster the reconnection of our students to the land as the source of their food. We will teach our students to be advocates for healthy eating by learning to prepare the foods they grow through first-hand gardening experience. Families in our community do not have access to affordable fresh produce and this project will not only be able to provide this for them but will also help to foster a deeper sense of community connectedness to each other and nature.
