Highland Park Elementary
Home to two unique raised beds, this garden was established in 2017 through a grant from Home Depot and the determination of a few PTO members! Dave and Jennifer Craft, a teacher at the school, provided soil for the raised beds and coordinated work efforts alongside Principal Scott Cleland. The beds are shaped like an “H” and a “P” to represent school spirit.
In 2017 Birch Hayden’s 5th grade class applied for and received a mini-grant through RiW and purchased a vertical, aeroponic tower garden and lights that cultivate and engage students year-round.
In the Spring of 2018 Founding board member Pam Standish and her husband, John Standish, created a “square foot gardening” project in one of the beds and created a pumpkin patch in the other. With the help of neighborhood kids who attend, Highland Park Elementary, this garden is a thriving educational hands-on garden experience for the children who attend their school.
