Primrose Hill School

The overall goal of the Primrose Hill garden is to teach children how to plant, nurture, grow and harvest vegetables, fruits and herbs.

The children at Primrose Hill Elementary (K-3) have a hands on experience planting the beds, harvesting the produce and tasting different vegetables.

Teachers have the opportunity to hold classes in the garden to expand and enhance their cirriculum.

The garden also gives children and their families the opportunity to give back to the community with the donation of the produce during the summer months to Interim House, a homless shelter for families located in Providence, RI.

This grant will give us the opportunity to purchase new tools and equipment (small shed, hoses, gloves, shovels), supplies (wood chips, organic manure, plants) to fund the garden without taking away funds from the school's PTO. We would also plan to replace some of our butterfly bushes that were damaged during tropical storm, Sandy.
