St. Michael's Country Day School Garden Association

 St. Michael's Country Day School Wellness Committee helped to start a school garden during the spring semester, 2012.

While the garden is new, the students are excited about the four raised beds, pollinating and butterfly garden, as well as the fruit grove with high bush blueberry, espalier apple and pear trees, pink lemonade blueberry and strawberries.

This garden is a wonderful addition to the St. Michael's community and the greater surrounding Newport community as the students have harvested vegetables and brought them to local soup kitchens and food pantries over the summer and fall months.

The school is now committed to working the garden into the curriculum in order for it to be an additional classroom and hands on space for all students.
