About the Program: 

 The Valley Elementary School gardens were created to both beautify the campus and provide learning opportunities for all students.  All students, preschool-5th grade participate in the planting, cultivation, and harvesting of the gardens.  There is one small, more decorative bed located in front of the school, close to where parents drop their kids off, and another larger bed behind the school nestled amongst the playground.  During the growing season, kids love to pick cherry tomatoes at recess!
