About the Program: 

The Garden Project at our school will serve our 112 children who are on the very severe end of the autism spectrum. We seek to develop a small greenhouse for seedling development and to install a vegetable garden. Our school sits on 9 acres of land; we have an area identified for the greenhouse and the garden. This project will be a valuable teacher-aid to our children on a multitude of skills and levels.
