The
Castle Rock School Community Garden was started in March of
2001. It has twenty raised garden beds. Each classroom is
allotted one bed for integrating into their science curriculum.
Additionally, garden beds are rented out to the community
for their use in raising vegetables, fruits and flowers. The
school also has a greenhouse for use throughout the year so
that we can continue our garden activities even in the winter.
Much
of the produce and flowers grown in the garden are sold at
our local Farmer's Market and are used in our nutritional
school breakfast/lunch programs, which feature homemade food
everyday and are free for each student.
