About the Program: 

The Lincoln Elementary School Garden program centers around teaching children about nutrition, science and gardening. Teachers and the FoodCorps Service Member focus on teaching students about soil composition, parts of the plant, plant needs, and nutrition. Our program benefits third graders, however, we also have an after-school 4-H Junior Master Gardener Club.

Our school garden is a work in progress. We plan on groundbreaking a new garden this spring, which will consist of  four raised beds (one for each third grade class), an herb spiral, butterfly garden, and fruit trees. We can't wait to get our school garden up and running!
