About the Organization

MCES already has an established garden that needs attention and support from teachers, staff, students, and parents. We want to give the community and especially all the MCES students an opportunity to engage with nature while learning practical lessons. School gardens are an effective way to promote life-long healthy eating habits and connect students to the natural world. Gardening provides educators with opportunities to enhance student education through practical, reality-based learning. With the Plants donated we will be able to restore the Monarch Waystation, replace non-native flowers and increase the space already established. Students will be able to observe the pollinators that will visit and enjoy the food source from the flowers. Please visit Middle Creek Elementary School Garden facebook page to see some pictures of the garden in past years.
