About the Program:
The goal of our gardens is to teach our students to live sustainably. Our gardens are integrated into the curriculum and serve to support teachers' efforts in the classroom but moreover they serve to teach our children how to grow vegetable crops using organic methods. Further we intentionally planted a large seasonal vegetable garden at the front of our school with the intent of inspiring visitors to garden at home. The grant will sustain and allow us to make improvements to our program.
