The Edible Garden

The Edible Garden, modeled after the Edible Schoolyard, provides students with garden and kitchen classrooms that can be used as a part of an integrated curriculum and potentially their lunch program. It involves the students in all aspects of farming in a garden setting and it allows them to prepare, serve and eat their food to awaken their senses and encourage appreciation of nourishment, community and stewardship of the land.
