School Gardens & Natural Landscaping
Our garden has a wide variety of greenery, ornamental plants and beautiful flowers of many kinds and colors.
Promoting a Healthy Learning Environment
Experience and research have shown numerous benefits of school gardens and natural landscaping. Our school situated on the State Highways contribute to an ever-green environment for students to learn focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork, and social skills.
- Students learn focus and patience, cooperation, teamwork and social skills.
- They gain self-confidence and a sense of “capableness” along with new skills and knowledge in food growing — soon-to-be-vital for the 21st century.
- Garden-based teaching addresses different learning styles and intelligence; our non-readers can blossom in the garden!
- Achievement scores improve because learning is more relevant and hands-on.
- Students become more fit and healthy as they spend more time active in the outdoors and start choosing healthy foods over junk food.
- The schoolyard is diversified and beautified.
- Graffiti and vandalism decrease because students respect what they feel some ownership in.
