Smith Elementary

The Smith Elementary Garden's purpose is to offer a hands-on activity that supplements the school day curriculum by providing real world experiences to students. In addition, the garden provides fruits, vegetables and herbs for the Smith community. Our goal for this year is to expand the garden.

The Whole Kids Grant will ensure that our 6400 square foot garden space is utilized to it's fullest capacity in the Spring. As it stands, roughly 30 percent of the garden is being utilized. With over 140 students who will participate in the upkeep of the garden, this grant will ensure that needed supplies and materials will be available to expand the garden and put more students to work in the remaining 70 percent of the space. These spaces, with your help will feature raised garden beds, some pear trees and an overall expansion of the offerings that the Smith Garden has successfully produced in the last 4 years.
