Credentialed Chemistry Teacher & School Garden Coordinator
Inspired by the documentary Growing Cities, this school garden started as a simple idea and eventually became a reality when three science teachers embarked on a journey that none were experts in. With the help of the universe—and the support of students, community members, and organizations—the space grew and touched many lives. The garden became a place of healing for those who had lost their connection to nature through unforeseen circumstances. Each year, different classes participated in project-based learning, shaped by the needs of the individuals involved. As you tour this site, you will witness its growth from year to year, meet the people who made it possible, and learn about how the garden was woven into a variety of courses.
