About the Program: 

The goal of the Tulsa Met Community Garden is to make fresh produce readily accessible to Tulsa Met Junior High and High School students and community members. In addition, the garden must be a site of real-world, project-based learning where students can design and complete projects with authentic and meaningful results. With the funds from the grant, TMCG will have access to a larger variety of seeds and plant types that grow well in our climate. This will ensure a continuous harvest. With the tools and equipment we plan to purchase, students will have access to the materials they need to complete their project work, and a place to gather and work. With the funds, TMCG will also construct an accessible raised bed, for students or individuals with accessibility concerns to participate in growing as well. Finally, securing the grant funds will allow TMCG to continue to operate well into the future, enhancing the sustainability of our project and our plans for long-term growth.
