Success StorySchool Garden at elementary school



School Garden at elementary school

Author: Christine Jackson

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Community Gardens and Horticulture Therapy

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Met with the PTO of a franklin county elementary school earlier this year. they were interesting in what it would take to start a school/ community garden behind their playground. so Dr. Whittinghill and I went and met with them multiple times before lockdown etc started happening, got an idea of what they were looking for and planned to do with the space. I then went back and drew out a few designs for garden layouts, returned and they picked their favorite. presented it to the PTO and they have approved the design to be implemented starting with a 10k approval to start by section. it is exciting to be apart of something long term like this to be able to watch this project grow into a design i inspired!
