About the Program: 

The goal of the proposed project is to expand the number and types of gardens at TES to allow all students an opportunity to participate in and learn from a variety of activities centered on the gardens. Hands-on experiences are a powerful tool for teaching as well as reinforcing fundamental principles taught in the classroom every day. The lessons learned by nurturing a garden and enjoying the fruit of their labor will be carried beyond the school yard and into the homes of each student.
