About the Program: 

1. The students of Monterey High School who participate in Garden Club strive to produce organic and sustainable foods. Our goal is to raise awareness and consciousness about where food comes from amongst our peers, families, and teachers. We also hope to create unity and foster a more nurturing community in our high school by providing opportunity through weekly meetings and weekly Garden Days. Students who participate in Garden Club are also very passionate about the plummeting bee populations and wish to plant native plant species that attract local bees. We also would like to establish a compost system in our school to promote and encourage the idea of sustainability in order to teach and integrate this type of lifestyle into our school community. Lastly, the students hope to create a beautiful and friendly space in our school where people can visit and spend their leisure time.
