Outdoor Classroom Garden Space

Join Stanford Parents and Teachers building an Outdoor Classroom Garden Space!

When: Saturday, Oct. 29th

Time: 9am – 3pm. starbucks is providing coffee for the morning helpers! Though you may come and go as you are available, any and all help is appreciated.

What to bring: work gloves, apron, water bottles, any of the following that you have: hammer, tape measure, garden/cement rake, shovels, cordless drill, or other small gardening tools

Further details: This space is the result of many teachers desire to have an easy to maintain, educational, student-centered garden space. Home Depot has partnered with us and has provided not only the $2,600 grant to fund construction but also a volunteer crew of 20-30 people to come out and function as team leaders on construction day! Garden features include: 18 raised beds to host a variety of plant life, 4 dwarf fruit bearing trees, 6 small benches, a work table for teachers and students to utilize, a double compost bin, a rock garden to host desert climate plants for regional study, and a central shallow water plant feature. Highlights of the garden also include wheelchair accessibility, markers for plant life which provide quick and easy teaching notes for our teachers, plant life which provide a broad range of skill level activities for students, and the use of entirely organic gardening methods. We are very excited about this, our first project with our Home Depot partners, and hope that many of you will come out to participate in this wonderful new beginning!
