Summary

The Children’s Peace Garden serves children ages 4-10. The goals of this program are that students learn about the source of the food they eat, organic gardening practices, the importance of biodiversity and community, and reconnecting with the Earth. They participate in a number of engaging, hands-on gardening activities that encourage peace, respect, environmental stewardship and friendship. The Children's Peace Garden offers spring and fall field trips and classroom visits for preschool and elementary school groups as wells as an After School Garden Club and five weeks of Summer Camp.
