Paxson Elementary

The goal of the Paxson Outdoor Learning Center is to set public school curriculum in a beautiful, natural space where children can associate learning with real life outcomes.

This grant will make possible the expansion of key pieces of our education component, by providing needed funding for equipment to model plant growth and outfit our existing shed for vermiculture (worm composting).

We hope the continued viability and visibility of the garden will allow families and people in the community to see the physical manifestation of what their children are being taught. We also would like families to feel encouraged to create their own outdoor learning spaces at home.
