Luther School

Our goal is to get all our students closer to their healthy food: planning, planting, caring for, harvesting, preparing and eating vegetables from or garden. Last year we were able to fundraise for and build three 4x4 raised beds. During a work session with our Extension Office and local volunteers, the students built a simple soaker hose watering system and planted the beds using the square-foot gardening method. We also planted micro-greens in small plastic clamshell containers and sprouted seeds in CD cases to study their growth.
With continued support, we could continue, expand and improve our garden and gardening program, integrating it into the classroom, lunch program and community.
