About the Program: 

Our school garden was started out of a passion for kids to have more of an opportunity for hands on/experiential learning.  Currently the garden is essentially a school community garden, everyone in the Schumacher community (teachers, staff, students and their families) are able to use it as an place to grow their own food, however it has so far solely been planted by the students during school or through the after school Garden Club.  Any extra produce beyond that which is able to be utilized by the families that tend the garden, is offered to the cafeteria.
