St. Margaret Mary Catholic School

The initial goal is to expose students to gardening and eating more vegetables. The second goal is to improve the educational outcomes through hands-on learning and real-life application of math and science lessons. A third goal is to use the garden to build community in your school, and a fourth goal is to provide a place where families in the community can have their own gardens through the summer months. We have room to expand the garden if interest increases from other classes in the school or from more families.

Through the life cycle of plants, students will learn the responsibilities of working together as they care for their living plants from the preparation of the soil, planting the seeds, caring for the plants, and harvesting the food.
