Gardening
ACCESS Gardens is an outdoor classroom. Students learn about more than plants and science in this horticultural setting. They learn about responsibility, self discipline, math, and literature. Weekly gardening lessons focus on specific areas of horticulture. Various gardens are assigned to classrooms and are linked to the curriculum. Garden areas include a bird sanctuary, vegetable and plant gardens, compost station, and a worm farm.
ACCESS offers a horticulture course to our high school students. Our students produce their own crops in the spring and fall. The community supports our efforts at our plant sales.
ACCESS Gardens are also a home for our worm farm. We use their castings to make an organic fertilizer which is used in our school gardens and horticulture crops. This new product will be for sale at our plant sales.
