Our Purpose

Our purpose is to...provide a school garden to help students understand where there food comes from and the hard work that it takes grow different types of food.  We want to help students establish an interest in gardening at their current age so that they are willing and interested in gardening later in life.  We are also interested in providing taste tests in our school cafeteria with some of the items that we grow so that students can broaden their taste horizons.
