About the Program:
The garden will benefit the students, as well as the community. Gardening will provide a sense of responsibility for students. The students will develop a sense of ownership as they see their hard work pay off in the fall when they harvest their crops. The garden will provide opportunities for parents and students to work together whether the job be planting, weeding, or harvesting. The garden will provide many educational opportunities for the teachers to involve their students. The garden will become an outdoor classroom for cross curricular activities.
