About the Program: 

The main goal of our school garden program is to educate and enrich the learning experience for our students. The garden helps us teach important science math and health concepts. It also develops character traits such as respect and responsibility. Our garden helps us create and maintain relationships in the larger community. We partnered with local chefs to teach our students healthy ways to prepare our food. We offer gardening workshops to neighbors. We offer surplus food to food banks.
