About the Program: 

Our proposal for our project is to continue growing our community garden for our school, students, and their families. This has proved to be successful and a great learning experience the past few years, and has been therapeutic for individual and family therapy, and group therapy. With this garden we use it as a tool to help educate on health, nutrition, and care, team building, and developing a therapeutic coping tool. Also the produce that is created from the garden has been/ and will continue to be used for lunches and given to families so that they too can educate themselves on healthier eating habits, nutrition, and wellness.
