About the Program: 

Our garden goal is to provide an outdoor educational environment to facilitate sensory connections to the core subjects and active participation in the learning process. The garden will provide opportunities to engage students in hands-on learning that is both meaningful and relevant while contributing to healthier nutritional attitudes and lifestyle. Growing healthy foods promotes healthy eating as well as respect for the food we eat and its origins.
