About the Program: 

In our schoolyard garden and outdoor classroom, kids learn to grow and harvest foods and herbs.  They learn basics like how to dig, plant seeds, and identify weeds.  We harvest the crops and then deliver them to our cafeteria where they are served in lunch or on the salad bar.  We have garden club activities during recess each week in the spring and fall, and throughout the summer.
