Oriole Park School TEACHING FARM

Oriole Park School Teaching Farm is an interactive, outdoor classroom - run by teachers, parents, urban farmers, and do-gooders - who strive to inspire and engage young minds with first hand experience in growing food start to finish.

The OPS Teaching Farm was originally funded with a generous grant through The American Heart Association, but currently relies on donations and volunteers.  We had  a successful first year thanks to many families who "adopted the garden" over the summer for a week at a time, as well as generous donations of mulch, perennials and supplies. 

As we enter the second growing season, we have big plans for expanding the Teaching Farm to include more hands-on classroom involvement with lessons in soil health, composting, plant life cycle, nutrition, and sustainable practices.
