Hector Garcia Middle School

Our current garden is in existing flower beds that are not meant for growing vegetables and fruits. Receiving this grant will allow construction for vegetable garden beds. Constructing several garden beds will increase student involvement with our current garden program. We would like to use this grant to build as many beds as possible along with set up of a few rain barrels to harvest rain for the garden. The goal of our garden is to gain more participation from students, teachers, and parents. Furthermore, we would like to be able to grow enough produce to use in our school cafeteria and create a community based farmers market. We want our community eating fresh grown vegetables and fruits. We have an abundance of space to produce a large yield of produce.
