About the Program: 

 We are a small charter school in central Indiana.  Currently, 90 kids in K-2 are involved in the gardens project.  Classes have their own raised beds and have weekly garden lessons with a volunteer instructor.  Our program, which doubled in size, is in its second year.  The focus is sustainable organic agriculture, nutrition, broadening food choices,  and understanding natural systems.
