Rachel Freeman Elementary School Garden

The Rachel Freeman Elementary School garden program is focused on introducing and improving students' access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Our program currently benefits primarily third grade students, who learn about gardening, science and nutrition from their teachers and FoodCorps Service Member. Students also engage in a bi-weekly Garden Lunch Bunch, where three students from each class are rewarded with eating lunch in the garden.

Our school garden currently has two raised beds and an assortment of herbs. We are looking forward to revitalizing the garden this spring, when we will construct several more raised beds, an outdoor classroom, along with bean teepees and trellises, and an herb spiral.
