About the Program: 

The goal of this project is to provide students with an outdoor classroom that will allow all students an opportunity of hands-on and "real life" experiences. The garden will support learning and improve student outcomes in the following areas: math (measuring and graphing) science (soil and plant characteristics and life cycles) language arts (descriptive writing) health (healthy eating) art (landscapes) and home economics (harvesting and cooking with fresh vegetables).
