What is a Community Garden
A community garden is a natural space where neighbors come together to plant fruit, vegetables, and herbs. They are particularly beneficial in urban areas where access to grocery stores or fresh produce can be a challenge , and opportunities to connect with nature are rare.
Rolling Green Elementary School
Gardens seamlessly integrate into educational settings, starting as early as elementary school. Young children engage in garden maintenance, while older students participate in planning and planting. Schools sustain these gardens through courses like family and consumer sciences, gardening clubs, and agriculture or nutrition studies. Students can partner with their cafeterias to incorporate their produce into school lunches, creating a holistic educational experience centered around agriculture and nutrition.
