Glendale Primary School

The garden's goal is to provide every child, from grades Pre-K to 3, an opportunity to experience the Glendale Discovery Garden through hands-on learning. The garden includes 10 raised garden beds, an EPA certified wetlands, a covered learning center, a pond, and is surrounded by a double-fenced walking area. The garden was originally established as a pumpkin patch 20 years ago in 1994 by a passionate group of teachers so every pre-K student would have the opportunity to pick a pumpkin and has since been transformed and enhanced into the phenomenal garden it is today. Since its inception, the garden has received support from the school district, PTA, staff, families, and businesses that contribute to the success and sustainability of the garden. This grant will make it possible for the Glendale Discovery Garden to upgrade the raised garden beds, prepare the soil for planting to ensure a hearty harvest, and continue the tradition of bringing hands-on gardening experiences to students.
