Live Oak Learning Center

Plant It, Grow It, Eat It! this is the goal of our school gardening project. Odyssey After School has been blessed with a new campus where there are existing raised beds and several acres that are available to us to develop our garden.The only missing component is money! Odyssey is located in South Texas and we deal with the huge problem of childhood obesity and diabetes that is prevalent in our area. It is Odyssey's goal to introduce our students to healthy food choices, the joy of growing ones own food and the results of planning and consistency needed to accomplish a good result. Our students will be involved in planning, soil preparation, planting, weeding and harvesting - everything it takes to go from ground to table. We plan to involve parents, volunteers from our local gardening clubs, staff and students to develop these empty beds and bare land into a true community garden.
