Quest Montessori School

The intention of the gardens at school is that the children (toddlers through eighth grade) will decide what they want to grow and what to do with their yields. Each of the six classrooms will have a designated bed and the children will be their primary stewards. We hope to grow enough food to feed their class snacks or supplement their home packed lunches. We also have a micro business that the middle school is responsible for implementing and we would like to see any excess produce marketed and sold to our school community. We have begun school wide composting and the children are excited to see their first compost added to our raised beds. The process of planning, preparing the beds, planting, and nurturing plants is becoming part of our curriculum at Quest. The staff and students are equally excited to kickoff this garden initiative!
