School Garden

The 3rd and 4th Graders planted the James Buchanan Elementary School Garden. We are super excited to help the students learn how to grow their Real Food and can’t wait to see how the garden blossoms over the summer months.
The garden will be planted with various delicious veggies this summer, including herbs, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, kale, spinach, onions, potatoes, squash, and beans!
We are currently looking for families to help care for the garden throughout the summer months. The garden needs to be watered and weeded to grow healthy, happy plants, and in return, any and all helpers can take home the produce that is harvested. A little bit of care in your garden goes a long way in producing delicious veggies for the students and their families.
We are also looking for a lead at each school to oversee garden care and assist families as needed. In the past, it seems to work best for the whole summer or specific weeks throughout June, July, and August, so the garden work doesn’t fall on one person.
If you are interested in helping with the garden, please contact Mrs. Batdorf at sbatdorf@basdschools.org
We are very excited to have a garden program at James Buchanan Elementary and love encouraging students & staff members to Eat and Grow their Real Food. Thank you for allowing the Kellyn Foundation Garden Program to grow with you!
