Community Impact of a School Garden

As we partner with schools to create school gardens, discovery-based experiential learning opportunities abound for students. The school garden naturally becomes a resource for increased STEM education, access to healthy foods, and outdoor opportunities that promote good health. As collaboration with each school community develops, the school garden becomes an on-site greenspace that provides environmental education to the broader community.
