MTS Elementary

At MTS elementary we are focused on community. Our school as a community, but also extending that sense of community out word. We have two ultimate goals for our garden. Serving an urban population, our first goal is to immerse the students into the process that food goes through to get from the garden to the table. Keeping community in mind, every person within our school would participate in this process. This process would include making decisions about what goes into the garden, preparation for new additions, maintenance, as well as the harvesting and enjoyment of the products. Our second goal extends outward. In the future we would like to extend our garden as a field trip destination for those in surrounding areas; in hopes that others will be able to utilize the garden for educational and enjoyment purposes. This grant will aid in the fulfillment of our two goals by providing us means to purchase necessary materials to make our garden flourish.
