Fall+School+Garden

On September 25 2012, Ms. Willey’s class went out to our school’s garden. Ms. Willey’s class harvested some of our school’s wonderful potatoes, peppers, cucumbers and green beans. The produce from our Hunt garden is delicious. It isn’t just used in our school; it is used in schools all over the school district where our wonderful chefs incorporate the fresh produce into the school lunches. Students learn about gardening and its benefits. media type="youtube" key="lZ8Q-I9rT38" height="315" width="420"

The garden is very important to our community. It gives students the opportunity to learn where their food comes from and how to grow their own organic food. One of the benefits is that you can choose if you would like to contribute to a healthier lifestyle by growing an organic garden. You also know where your food comes from and it is always healthy and delicious.

The school garden provides fresh food for schools all around Burlington. At lunch we have roasted potatoes as well as peppers, cucumbers and countless other healthy, snacks and vegetables. All of our gardens produce is used for the students. We are very lucky to have a school garden that gives us the freshest food possible!
