LaGrange Highlands Elementary School

Our goal is to provide an outdoor learning environment for our students. This project will be a real world, authentic, ongoing program. Students are currently evaluating garden sites for the best place for a garden. They are listing pros and cons for each, including water source, adequate sunlight and space, and room to grow. Students will plant seeds and take care of plants, research, keep plant diaries, collect data, teach others about our garden and conduct experiments on plants. We will start with 10 raised beds. There will be vegetables, pizza/salsa garden, herb garden, giant garden, and a garden for student experiments.
