st. francis school
I am the garden coordinator at a small independant school, St. Francis, in Goshen, KY. It sits on 64 acres. When I started, the school had 2 failed attemps with school gardens and an empty green house. I have been there a year, part time, and have 6 raised beds with year round growing capabilities, a 350 sq. ft. in ground garden, 5 indoor vermacompost and one in ground vermacompost. We incubated eggs and have those chickens and 2 angora rabbits! The kids have built me a chicken tractor and helped build the in ground vermacompost. I teach part of their healthy choices class. I have gone into the classroom on numerous occasions to connect the outside to their curriculum. I have big goals for next year!
