Garden Plans > 2012: Field Elementary

About this Garden Plan

Field Elem has a odd shaped garden area on the west side of the school between the kindergarten room and a portable classroom. Raised bed boxes with dimensions of 4 feet by 8 feet will be organized in such a way to take advantage of the sun, available water sources and allow for movement of the kids in the space.
