Lancaster Public School

The Lancaster Public School Garden encourages students and Malton residents of all ages to get their hands in the dirt and participate in community development and increased community health through food growing. The garden is a shared space for local schools and community volunteers to learn from each other and grow healthy food. Food that is grown in the school garden will be used for educative cooking lessons or donated to a local food bank, demonstrating the ability of volunteers to give back to the community. By working collectively in public spaces we will learn from our diversity, get to know one another better, and enjoy delicious healthy food. This grant will allow for the purchase of materials and supplies needed to construct and decorate garden features as well as provide support for the facilitation of garden activities. The grant will support organic sustainable food growing education for students and teachers at Lancaster Public School to grow their own school garden! This program is supported by Ecosource.
