About the Program: 

At Rose Ave. PS our goal is to expand the garden spaces. There are two garden spaces at present but with a large student population and significant teacher interest as well as community food security needs we want to increase the volume of food produced. As well the adobe raised beds built by students were so successful in 2009-2010 that we want to build more as they are inexpensive and children as young as Grade 4 can do the actual building. This method is good for asphalt playgrounds.
