The IPS/Butler University Laboratory School Garden

 We currently have 9 garden boxes, an outdoor classroom, a three tiered compost system, three chickens, an orchard, and rain garden in our urban setting. We use the garden as a teaching tool to not only teach about sustainability, plant propogation, and life cycles, but also integrate it into our curriculum as much as we can. We are looking to find ways to continually use our program in meaningful ways that are beneficial not only to the children, but to our families, teachers, and surrounding community members.
