About the Organization

We are a title one elementary school in East Durham. We are in the process of starting our very first raised bed vegetable garden for the purpose of educating our kids about botany/biology as well as healthier eating. The presence of pollinator plants would be beneficial to the vegetable garden, and would also provide our students with opportunities to observe caterpillars/butterflies/bees. There will not be paths around these areas, per se, but students and teachers will be able to approach/work in the gardens. There won’t be pets. We also have huge, sunny areas of land and hope to be able to expand the pollinator garden idea to additional areas in the future to add beauty and functionality to our school space.
