Growing Knowledge through Nature since 2022
An educational garden area located behind Palmer Ridge High School, the OLL is intentionally designed to be a place where students can learn in an interactive environment. Once a dilapidated playground, the hard work of many students, teachers, donators, and community member volunteers has turned the area into an exciting success story of new developments and exciting opportunities. Alongside our partnerships with UCCS and the CSU Master Gardening Program, the OLL also hosts regular community volunteer workdays, in which projects such as weeding, moving rock, and planting plants/seeds/bulbs are completed.
Upcoming Volunteer Days:
Through October 8th (not Oct. 1st due to Parent Teacher Conferences)
9-12 AM
October 4th, 9-12 AM
Our on-site weather station is collecting data year-to-year for our students to analyze in the classroom.
