Lincoln Elementary

Located in the central courtyard of Lincoln Elementary, our beautiful edible garden thrives under the support of our many volunteers and community partners. Our goal is to promote health, school and community connections, and integrated learning opportunities for our students. Our garden supports health by building relationships with the land and nature, increasing access to fresh organic produce, and broadening plant and dietary knowledge. In the garden children experience a deeper connection with their school and feel pride seeing the results of their own labor. Through the support of the Whole Kids Foundation, we will ensure that all students have access to integrated learning by providing teachers with on-site professional development. With training and curriculum, teachers will learn how to incorporate practices and cross-cutting concepts to ensure that education is meaningful, engaging, and effective, using the garden as a living laboratory in which learning comes to life.
