St.Anne's School of Annapolis

We have three basic goals for our edible garden. 1) to offer an experiential learning opportunity for students that will help integrate their classroom studies and research, 2) to help students experience the joy of growing and eating nutritional fruits and vegetables in order to establish lifetime habits of healthy eating, and 3)to help students experience the fulfilling wonder of sharing their produce with people who often do not have enough to eat. By making our garden project possible, this grant will provide the opportunity for students, teachers, parents, extended community , working together, to gain an understanding about what foods we can grown, how we must nurture a garden (and by extension, the whole earth) so it can produce abundantly, and why producing, eating and sharing such foods sustains us as human beings.
