   garden program

There is a beautiful garden area at Monroe that is being managed by the Food Ed organization! Our goal is to maintain a space for adults and children to explore and learn more about nature and the world around us. The garden is available for all teachers to use as a tool for learning, relaxation, and reward for their classes. PTA supports this program financially with donations for soil and other needs.

 
 

Do you have a green thumb or a passion for gardening? Join in on volunteer workdays and get your hands dirty!
