Community Garden
Open School Community Garden
All levels of our PK-12 community use the garden as a backdrop and inspiration for a variety of lessons and activities, incorporating the garden and the insects it provides into the classroom. In late winter, students start seeds in grow tables and then in the spring, they transplant the seedlings into the garden.
