Lindley Elementary School

Our garden consists of 16 raised beds and an orchard. We believe in full student participation.

The goals for the 2013 growing seasion:

1) Partner with a local nonprofit, "Share the Harvest", which connects local gardens with individuals and familes in need of food assistance. We will develop a service learning program, educating our students on hunger in Guilford County, and dedicate a garden bed to donate.

2) Designate a garden bed for ethnic veggies and better involve families of different cultures at our school

3) Invite a local chef to do cooking demonstrations

4) Create a butterfly garden in our school courtyard

5) Construct a small hoop house/cold frame to extend the season and better raise transplants to use in our garden, sell at a market and/or donate to other schools, needy families

6) Invite an outdoor artist to do programs in the garden and add more garden art to the garden

7) Better incorporate core curriculum standards into garden activities

This program is supported by Lindley Elementary PTA.
