Our school is an Arts Academy and we recently created a Culinary Arts Class! What better way to start a culinary class than to build a edible garden next to it?! Our culinary garden is going to be a huge undertaking- but you will not find teachers, students, or volunteers more excited to start this hard work! We have a large area outside the culinary class that is broken into three levels. The top level will be raised veggie beds, middle level will be citrus and butterfly garden, and the lower level will be mediterranean and edible flowers. We even have an arts teacher that is going to have her students create bird houses to support the harmonious atmosphere of the garden. We want the garden to be student centered, and so we are thrilled that this garden - the raised beds, the butterfly garden, the edible flowers - will be right next to the classroom so that students can walk out the door and breath in the harmony of a beautiful, nutritious, and well maintained garden.
