Nathan Adams Elementary students have fun building their new learning garden. (Photo by Louisa Meyer)
On Saturday, volunteers gathered at Nathan Adams Elementary to build a learning garden with help from United Way and REAL School Gardens, an organization that partners with high poverty schools to install gardens. It’s based on the idea that children learn better in nature.
Neighborhood resident Louisa Meyer sent us these photos from the event where students, parents and staff prepared vegetable gardens, built entry arbors and laid granite and stones for a lovely walkway through the garden.
Here is a rendering of the new design:
