About the Program: 

Our goal for this garden is to help teach the children about scientific side of gardening and responsibility. Hands-on learning is a focus at Wickliffe so this aligns with our school mission. Digging deeper the counseling office would use the garden for student engagement and "nature therapy". Some students feel more comfortable talking to adults when they have other things engaging them so the garden would be a perfect metaphor of the growth within the counseling process for the students.
