About the Program: 

Our goal with this educational garden is two fold: to inspire students through incorporating the natural world into their learning process; and to encourage young people to consider the impact that food and nutrition have on their lives and future health. In order to achieve our goals we must complete our garden construction and secure finances to support ongoing programming. This grant specifically will allow us to kickstart our spring season by purchasing seeds and potting soil, constructing an early spring cold frame, and filling our remaining 3 garden beds with topsoil.

This program is supported by Student Farm Project.
