Oakdale Elementary School

The overall goal of our garden is to give students an opportunity to interact with nature while learning our district outcomes. The garden has facilitated various lessons in new and exciting ways. Oakdale's school community has also become more engaged in school events through the use of the garden and other outdoor classroom events.

This grant will assist the garden in the following ways:

- increasing accessibility of planting to all students through ADA-facilitative, raised pots

- spring planting

- summer upkeep

- fall planting and harvesting

- adding tools such as clocks, thermometers, rain gauges, that will support the integration of our curriculum with the use of the Outdoor Classroom

- maintenance and replacement of garden tools
