Our SCHOOL
GARDEN PROGRAM

Our program is specifically designed to fit into the academic year and promote student health. HFHK’s Education Cultivation program provides hands-on gardening activities through lessons that support Delaware State learning standards. Students experience “seed to table” growing each spring AND fall, and EAT fresh vegetables they’ve grown in their cafeterias.
