About the Program: 

We would love our school garden to produce many vegetables to be used by the students to learn to cook with and create meals. As part of our school's curriculum we teach our students farming, gardening and cooking. We have two wonderful areas for our school garden, the front area for the lower grades and the back area for our upper grades. This grant will help us a great deal in retaining and creating beautiful and abundant gardens for our entire school community! Our school's front parcel area will also be the prime location for our city's Farmer's Market in the winter months from November to April, so with these gardens we will also be able to produce and sell our crops at the Market.
