About the Program:
The program began as a school garden for my special education students located in alternative program. I joined up with a community agency to write grants to build a greenhouse in order to raise seedlings for the community gardens in our county. We had a set back last year and are currently planning to provide seedlings for 18 community gardens and re-establish our school garden too.
In the previous gardens, we not only taught special education students but included some general education students. We sent produce home with any student that was interested and received great feedback from their families!
