About the Project

A school garden is a powerful environmental education tool that connects students physically and mentally to the outdoors and nutrition. Our existing garden has become a safety hazard making it hard for staff to effectively teach and students to learn in this outdoor space. With the help of our community and a grant from CTA, we would like to completely redesign the garden area. We plan to remove two portable classrooms, update or remove the existing pond, relocate two propane tanks. These changes will open up the area and create an inviting space where students can learn about agriculture, teamwork, farm to table practices, and grit. We also plan to install an irrigation system, raised beds, and an outdoor classroom space. A grant, along with a strong team of volunteers, will provide us with the necessary resources to complete this project.
