Torah Academy of Jacksonville

The main focus of building our garden is to teach our students how to own an idea, from concept to fruition. We constantly strive to instill the trait of responsibility in our students - teaching each class to be responsible for their own area of the garden, responsible for finding recipes we can try with the vegetables they grow and to ultimately take ownership of something that they created, nurture and love. We also plan to compile a salad cookbook, filled with recipes the kids have taste-tested and to use that cookbook as a fundraiser to raise funds to keep the garden going from year to year.
