About the Program: 

The garden offers both students and teachers the opportunity to explore and interact with the natural environment in multiple disciplines including math social studies art and theater. Through expansion of the schoolyard vegetable beds and the addition of the potato towers more children will experience multiple lessons in the gardens (the existing six beds proved inadequate for the school community in 2011) and we will have more produce to contribute to our partnering food-shelf.
