Sand Hill Venable Elementary

Our hope with this garden project is to integrate garden care and use into our

everyday curriculum. Each grade, K-5, will be assigned a small garden plot. Each grade

level will be responsible for the upkeep of their garden plot and those grade level teachers

will incorporate the garden into science, literacy, math and writing lessons throughout the

school year.

The Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project distributes a wonderful weekly

newsletter which includes literature, activities, recipes and journal topics to incorporate

garden work into seasonal topics. We plan to use this newsletter as a guide for integrating

the garden into our school
