Elementary School Gardens

As of the summer of 2020, all 13 of our Elementary Schools and our early childhood center have raised bed gardens!  The elementary school gardens differ in size and planting depending on the needs of each school. Schools are encouraged to develop their own unique garden identity to best support the needs of their teachers and students. Each school has a Garden Coordinator, a teacher in their building, who helps connect their building to district wide resources.
