About the Program:
We have eight raised garden beds. They were built with the help of a Home Depot grant and volunteers. Students have helped tend these gardens since 2008. Every May, we hold a Garden Club on Thursday afternoons from 3:00 - 4:00. Students learn about seeds, soil, worms and companion planting.
This year I want to have a Seed to Market approach with students investigating what crop would grow well in our climate, what would be easy to maintain, what we could harvest and then sell for a profit. The money would be used to sustain Garden Club expenses such as mulch, compost, seeds, tools, etc....
