Grandview Elementary

We love gardening at Grandview school! Currently, we have 15 , 4X12 garden beds that are on the school grounds and assigned to all the classrooms from Kindergarten to grade 7. The goal of our garden is to continually engage kids through hands-on learning so they develop the valuable skills needed to plant, tend, harvest and then share. This program runs completely by donation and grants. In the past,funding from Adopt-a-School and Farm to School have made it possible for us to run this wildly successful program year round.
As we are harvesting the last of our crops this fall and putting the beds to sleep for the winter( except for the kale and spinach of course!) We are already thinking of our needs for Spring. A Whole Foods Garden grant would be an incredible boost to our program! Wheelbarrows, a small lock-able shed, a fresh soil and compost delivery, money to buy our seeds, gardening gloves for the kids..These are just a few of the things we would be able to do if we were lucky enough to receive your grant.
