Woodbridge College

The goal of our garden will be to create a dynamic learning experience for our Developmentally Delayed classroom. These students, who are in Grades 9-12, are functioning from the pre-K to Grade 1 level. Some of them have lived very sheltered lives, and need different experiences in order for them to grow. The garden will be a learning and a living experience for these children. This garden will help some of these students gain valuable experience that they may be able to use in the job force. These students may be able to work in a garden centre or for a landscaping firm in our Work Experience Program. The food from this garden will be used in the Developmentally Delayed food and nutrition class. There, the students learn how to prepare meals for themselves at their level. The garden will also be home to bird boxes as part of Project Nest Box (in co-operation with the Royal Ontario Museum). This program is supported by .
