Goals

Develop science-based community garden spaces, where the community has ownership of the implementation, progress, and maintenance of the garden.

Encourage the use of the garden as a central gathering and meeting place for the community.

Teach an all-encompassing curriculum that connects the garden with other disciplines and allows students to connect the learning in the garden to both school learning and real life experiences.

Establish local, national, and international connections with students through the Internet, based on growing and eating food, and various cultural practices involving plants.
