About the Project

Grizzly Garden will be a community garden located on the Golden Sierra High School campus. The garden will be utilized by science and cooking classes, and will be maintained by the Environmental Club along with community members. Parts of the garden will be available to the community on specific days for harvesting and planting. Produce from the garden will be available to students and distributed to the community through our Families and Schools Together(FAST) program. The garden will be a joint project between several student clubs and will partner with the FAST program to provide services to the community. In addition to growing produce, the garden will include a butterfly/pollinator garden that will be used in science and art classes. The Grizzly Garden will be a source of beauty and pride on our campus and will provide educational and vocational opportunities for our community.
