About the Program: 

Our program consists of different activities.  Spring 2014, we launched a more official garden including (6) 4'x 8'x 18" garden beds to start with & plans for expansion.  A butterfly garden, outdoor classroom space, strawberry bed & (2) 6'x 8' greenhouses are in future plans.

1st Grade = "Worm Feeders" are incorporating castings into the garden from Cafeteria food waste.

4th/5th Grades are involved in 'Farm to School' & after-school STEAM program gardening class.

Fall 2014, we are working to implement 'School Garden Project' curriculum & selecting a focus grade to participate.
