St. Ambrose Garden Project

このサイトについて

When the St Ambrose School Garden was created, Joan Noble, a teacher at St. Ambrose Catholic School in Park Heights, along with One Straw Farm’s Joan Norman, designed the project in a way that would not only plentifully produce fruits and vegetables but would also be feasible for the students’ participation. Ground was broken and 2 15’ x 15’ plots were created and maintained. The children’s participation was exceptionally notable; every step of the process involved the students in some way. The third-grade class decided what would be grown in the garden and numerous other students were involved in other ways. In the first growing season, a group of about 20 students harvested zucchini, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, collards, carrots and peppers.
