About the Program: 

Killip Elementary School Garden and Garden Classroom which is found in Sunnyside neighborhood of Flagstaff covers slightly less than 5000 square feet and is divided in four parts. There is the main vegetable and herb garden, a learning garden dedicated to the first-grade science units, a commercially certified garden that provides food directly for our cafeteria and a native plants area specializing in Flagstaff’s unique flora.

The vast majority of garden space is utilized for edible plants and all food grown goes directly back to the community in which we are located, whether that be through classroom activities or through weekly produce pick-ups, when we work with a local food bank to provide free fresh produce to local families.
