About the Program: 

The mission of the garden is to inspire and teach the students about growing food in the garden and to mentor them to become good stewards of their environment. We want them to understand the basics of gardening so it becomes something common and within their reach. We give hands on presentations/lectures on soil, water, insects, composting, winter and summer maintenance and planting for winter weather, which is our reality.

Shorewood High School has been rebuilt this year and our established garden of so many strong growth years, was uprooted and moved to a new location. We salvaged as much as possible, but the reality is that we must re-design and re-build from scratch, in order to carry on our commitment to our students. We are using as many recycled and donated materials that we can collect, but we need outside financial help to complete our goal.
