About the Program: 

We have two ultimate goals with our gardening program. First we would like to be able to produce enough fresh and healthy vegetables to sale to our school cafeteria. Secondly we would to use the garden as an educational garden to teach those at our school, other schools, and in our community about raised bed gardening. We will work with our feeder schools to teach students and teachers about raising vegetables in raised bed so that they can start beds at their school. We will also use to teach adults in our community and local communities how to use raised beds to raise their own food in a small area. We would like to educate your district students about raising healthy fresh vegetables, as well as, local adult groups.
