School Description
Our school harvests local wild foods like salmon, berries & nettle. We also have small plots, greenhouses & raised beds where students learn to grow, harvest & seed save. We also participate in fruit tree gleaning in our community, and grow flowers. We eat all of the foods we harvest and grow, we also study them, write about them,and use them in our art. Each year around the Solstice we have a garden party & perform garden songs.
