About Our Garden

The Strong School Gardens is a wonderful way to use the schoolyard as a classroom, a way for reconnecting students with the natural world and the true source of their food. It teaches them valuable gardening and agriculture concepts and skills that integrate with several subjects, like math, science, health and social studies, as well as personal and social responsibility.
