Tenino High School

Three specific goals for our garden are:
Goal 1-Improve nutritional awareness and promote healthy eating habits by engaging and educating students. Students will play a vital role in all stages of the garden including designing, planting, maintaining, and harvesting duties.
Goal 2-Work collaboratively with the Tenino community. We will develop and maintain a steering committee comprised of students and community volunteers. Students will work closely with a Master Gardener as well as other volunteers from the local Lions Club, Grange, and members of the Chamber of Commerce.
Goal 3-Provide fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits to our students and community. Our local food bank is in constant need of fresh vegetables and fruits. Produce harvested from the gardens will go directly to feed those in need who rely upon our food bank.
This grant will help provide a well-maintained garden that is inviting and accessible to our students and our community, and provide food to those in need.
