Manorhaven Elementary School

The goal of this garden is to revive an internal outdoor courtyard and create a schoolyard garden for the first time at this elementary school. The garden would grow a range of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and non-edible plants, and will become an outdoor classroom serving a K-5 audience. Other goals of the project include: to foster a love and connection to nature, healthy eating practices, and teamwork among children; to encourage collaboration amongst the community, the school, and the families it serves; and to encourage sustainable and organic gardening practices and an awareness of and commitment to improving and protecting our environment.
