Supply Elementary School Garden

The goals of the Supply Elementary School Garden program are to teach children about nutrition, science and gardening. Our third graders benefit from instruction in the garden from their teachers and FoodCorps Service Member. Our lessons are centered around North Carolina Science standards: soil type and composition, parts of the plant, plant needs and nutrition. Students in other grades benefit from the garden during health class and during our 4-H Junior Master Gardener after-school club.

Our school garden has five raised beds - one for each of our third grade glasses, which each class takes responsibility for. We also have a keyhole garden and a sensory herb spiral.
