The Ferry-Morse® Gardening In School Program
Why plant a school garden? 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. We're here to help foster gardening in school by offering a special program for schools and teachers to have better access to the seeds and supplies that make it happen.
