[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This one of the times where someone who doesn't know much about a topic displays their ignorance by raving about something that is extremely common. [/quote]

If it's so common, it makes me feel worse about the NW DCPS where our daughter goes (John Eaton).  It doesn't have any of this.[/quote]

Start with the Principal, then get teacher buy in and their plan for how they will use a garden. If you have teacher commitment to use a garden, then have the PTA set up a committee to support the teachers, gets some start up PTA funding, then have parents work on garden grants, fund raising, and maintenance.

Eaton's property is too small for a garden.  It is more of an urban school.[/quote]

No, it isn't. Trust me. Also, it already has a wonderful border garden that can be used for science enrichment. All you need are a few 6 x 3 raised beds with water reservoirs in a sunny location and you have an education garden. In fact, there is space within the border garden to add herbs or a few simple and attractive crops. You don't need an acre farm. Start small. Try container gardens. A half barrel is just the right size to grow a salad for a class.  Where there's a will, there's a way.[/quote]
