About the Program: 

Our garden , Raven Roots Vegetable Garden is enclosed by a deer fence and contains four raised beds. It is located on the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade playground so children have supervised access to it during recess. It uses rainwater collected into rainbarrels from the 5th grade building's  roof. The organic soil came from Brooks, an industrial foodwaste processor, that creates mulch  from our food waste recycling program in our school's lunchroom.
