Our Community Charter School

The goals of the OCS garden are for students to learn the life cycle of a garden and to develop a hands-on connection with that cycle; and to learn a life lesson a garden is hard physical work (i.e. turning soil) but also requires a delicate hand (i.e. seed collection). It teaches them cooperation teamwork and the value of hard work. This grant will allow us to expand the number of raised beds and to begin 2 projects that would make the garden self-sustaining: seed collection and composting.
