About the Program: 

Our initial goal, is to purchase the garden tower this year and have a crop of plants planted before the school year is over. Our idea is to have each classroom plant something in each pod so that they will have an investment and interest in growing fresh foods. Additionally, we are planning to begin a Garden Club at our school which will work hand in hand with maintenance of our tower. This will ultimately raise awareness of growing fresh foods and will teach our students many things about eating what we grow.
