Kirtland Elementary

The Kirtland Community Garden Project is deeply based in community involvement integrated garden-based curriculum into the school day and increased nutrition and food consciousness for the youth through eco-literacy and service learning projects. At Kirtland we have a community that is both underfed and overfed; the youth that we interact with have high levels of obesity and extremely limited access to healthy nutritious foods. Through interaction with the garden they will glean many rewards.
