About the Program: 

Currently the garden at Crookshank Elementary consists of one 8'x4' raised bed and is used by only one fourth grade class. Our goal is to expand the existing gardening space so that is it available as a teaching space for the entire fourth grade eventually involving other grade levels as well. The expansion would give all fourth grade classes the opportunity to learn about healthy and sustainable food while giving them a hands-on learning environment that can be used across the curriculum.
