About the Program: 

This will allow us to continue our Teaching Garden for next year's first and second graders and expand planting to include all grade levels..Our goal is that the children learn on an experiential level about growing food from seed and then preparing and eating what they grow as they learn about different varieties of vegetables that are easy to grow in the Florida climate. We will expand teaching into soil chemistry for specific plants and be able to have worm bins for nutrient rich soil.
