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.
