About the Program: 

Our community is plagued with obesity and a disconnect from the natural world. Creation of this garden would serve many purposes. It would connect the children to the earth in a meaningful way teach them the basic priniciples of growing and eating healthy food and get them outside using their bodies. Most importantly we hope the garden will ignite a passion in our students that will help them to live healthier lives and lead them to be zealous stewards of the earth.
