Lowell Elementary School

The goal of the Lowell School garden is to provide an outdoor classroom where our students can learn a variety of topics ranging from nutrition to science, language arts to community service. Our garden provides a safe hands-on learning environment for our students who have had little opportunity to take ownership of anything. We strive to educate children on where food comes from and to give students the tools they need to grow their own garden in the future.

Our program is run in partnership with Missoula based, Garden City Harvest. Garden City Harvest builds community through agriculture by growing produce with and for people with low-incomes, offering education and training in ecologically conscious agriculture, and using our sites for the personal restoration of youth and adults.
