Mountain Vista Community School

Our goal for the garden is to use it to increase students' knowledge about where their food comes from, as well as increase their access to fresh, unprocessed food. Student involvement in the garden will also support the district's math and science curriculum and allow students to contribute to the school in a way that will make them feel more invested and connected. We intend to use the harvest to support a school-based farmer's market where families will be able to purchase fresh food at very low prices. This grant will allow us to purchase needed tools, seeds, fertilizer and supplies to make the farmer's market successful.
