The Newman gardens are located in an accessible, yet protected area of the school yard. The plot is approximately 800 square feet and is located near an ouside source of water. The location of the site and the water help to ease the maintenance job of parents who adopt the gardens over the summer. Most activities are tied to the K-5th grade curriculum. Our art teacher and students engage in annual representational drawings of the farm.
Senior citizens come to assist in planting and in educating the students about plants.
Most of our produce is donated to local charity organizations.
