Moberly Middle School Garden

This is Moberly's first foray into gardening. Many of our student (59%) are free/reduced students and received weekend buddy backpacks to take home. This garden will start with 5 4X4 raised beds which will grow cool weather vegetables and herbs to be used in our Family and Consumer Sciences class and at lunch. We have purchased a dehydrator to prolong the life of the herbs. We have an approximate 70 percent white, 10 percent Asian and Hisplanic and 20 percent African population grades 6-8. We have not created a mission statement yet. We are hoping to create on that is unique to our new program and reflects our population's needs and wants.
