South Athens Elementary Garden Project

This is our second season for our school garden.  We were created to teach healthy food choices for our largely Hispanic population.  The first year was a huge success....many volunteers, the Master Gardeners got involved, and we provided food for our 600 plus kids to sample.  Our success did not go unnoticed - two other schools in our town have now started their own school gardens!

This year we are expanding into a greenhouse program, starting a compost project using discarded food from our cafeteria, and growing even more plants! We are excited about another great year!
