About the Program: 

The garden will provide easy access to fresh, healthy food for the students at Lent and their families. It will also serve as a place for community gatherings such as school-sponsored fairs and PTA or local group meetings. At least 7 teachers have committed to using the garden as an extension of their traditional indoor classrooms which will give students the opportunity for a lot of hands-on academic learning and lessons in self-reliance.
