About the Program:
Our goal is to increase our number of planting boxes and to add additional seating and table-top working space. Richland has put outdoor gardening and garden-based learning as the focus of our educational and social mission statement. An increased planting area will help us educate each child in the life cycle of food: the planting, tending, harvesting, eating, sharing, and decomposition. An additional picnic table will provide needed seating and work space for outdoor lessons and garden-related work.
