About the Program: 

Our goal is to create a peace garden aligned with the school's Montessori principles. This will mean plots dedicated to produce but also places committed to butterflies birds and specific beneficial bugs a place for water and a space for reflection. We intend to involve each of our classrooms and all of our students in the gardening process and would ultimately like to serve our produce in our cafeteria. The grant will help us get the garden fully established with the appropriate tools.
