PS41 » The Garden Program Our students were studying plants and there was no outside area at school for them to actually dig into the ground. What started out initially as a few wooden containers has evolved over the years into a garden oasis that has not only beautified our school, but has also become an important learning environment and wildlife habitat. By giving our students the opportunity to grow produce from seeds while observing and nurturing them , they can understand the importance of “farm to table” and have a greater appreciation of where their food comes from. in Public bookmarkswith gardengrantsobservingplantsproduceresourcesseedssupportwildlife
