About the Program:
Mallinckrodt garden was started five years ago by a principal, a teacher and a parents with one raised bed. Today it has blossomed into a beautiful school garden with 20 raised beds. We reached 100% teacher participation for our weekly garden classes. These classes are taught by volunteers or our community partner Gateway Greening. Food produced by the garden is harvested by volunteers, staff, students and neighbors. We have come long way but we still have a long way to go. We believe ESA is just want our team needs to take this program to the next level.
