About the Program:
Our garden was established many years ago but it has fallen into a state of neglect with minimal planting and limited involvement by the students. This year, with the help of our Master Gardener, we have begun to revitalize the garden. Our goal is to establish regular rotational planting of a healthy variety of edible plants in order to expose our students to the many educationally beneficial aspects of a garden. The grant will help us to buy some much needed essentials such as a wheelbarrow, a composting bin, and to upgrade our irrigation system.
