St. Elizabeth’s Private School

 Garden Leader: Lynn Till – flordelamadre@gmail.com

St. Elizabeth’s School garden is a small but expanding in-ground vegetable garden located inside of the fenced in playground area. There are 2 covered picnic tables, a garden sink and sprinklers. As our small school grows we plan to grow the garden with it.

We are hoping that this year, with after school garden club and class usage, to get each child to be hands-on in the garden at least one time per week. Currently they are in contact with it daily at recess as it’s located on the playground. The after school garden club that will be offered this year will incorporate cooking, science, art and gardening lessons in hands on activities for the children.

St. Elizabeth’s School garden is busy planning how to expand the current program, deciding what they want to grow this year and getting ready to start seedlings indoors. For more info on our program, please see our school garden website: http://stelizabethsschoolgarden.wordpress.com/
