About the Program: 

 With support from the Watertown Community Foundation and Outdoor Nation, two fenced-in raised beds were installed by volunteers to create an outdoor classroom for 400 students, preK-5th grade. Students planted vegetables and herbs in the spring, and families tended the lush organic gardens during the summer. The summer harvest of eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes will be processed and stored for a fall pizza party for participating students. A fall harvest potluck will celebrate both the gardeners and the garden.
