Science / Engineering Magnet High School

The goal of the garden program is to expose students to the origin of their food and factors affecting the production of food. There is a veil among urban students between how our food is produced and the food itself. The purpose of a garden is to help lift that veil so that students would see the connection between food production soil management and sustainability and the inherent difficulties/rewards of growing one's own food while applying current scientific knowledge to the process.
