About the Program: 

We live in a rural district on the Oregon coast. We are a very small school district with our brand new garden. Our garden, which includes cold frames and raise beds will serve our 200 students K - 12. The children have a wonderful opportunity to actively get their own hands into the soil and learn where their food comes from. They learn the science behind soil testing, plant physiology and development, seed germination, and plant production. Herbs and spices grown in the garden will be used in our culinary arts projects, and shared with students and families.
