Our elementary school in the heart of Beacon Hill in south Seattle has a goal. We have a lovely little garden on our campus with huge amounts of potential. We want to improve and expand this garden into a dynamic teaching area for our children and as a source of produce donations for a high school culinary program called FEEST (Food Empowerment Education and Sustainability Team) located in our neighborhood. We already have so many assets, including a small greenhouse, rain barrels, worm compost bins and many raised beds. With a bit of planning, funding and a lot of sweat we can turn this garden into an educational tool that will benefit our entire community. Whether you are a Maple student, parent, teacher, neighbor, or just someone interested in school gardens, we welcome you to follow us on our journey.
Maple Pride!
