About the Program:
The goal of the garden is to develop social skills and the ability to work well with others through the group effort required in maintaining a garden. The Ark's primary focus is to develop these skills in their students who are academically behind others their age. The garden will allow the children to learn about food origins science and ecology. The preschool and older students will share the freshly grown foods. This garden will yield more food than previous gardens.
