About the Program: 

Oveer the years, the PTA at Lemon Avenue Elementary Scvhool has built a beautiful organic garden filled with 15 raised beds, 6 fruit trees, 3 composters and a covered work area with benches and tables.  Our garden has been a labour of love for hundreds of students, teachers and parents and it is the jewel of our campus.

This year we were awarded a grant from the wonderful Sage Garden Project to support and expand our program with garden and nutritional education staff, training at The Edible Schoolyard Academy, lesson plans for grades K-6 and a cooking cart.
