The Garden Program at CRMS provides a context for experiential learning and a vehicle that promotes individual growth and challenge. Through thoughtful and intentional work experiences, students learn about themselves and the world around them while striving to provide sustenance for the community.
At the CRMS garden, students are at the center of the garden’s purpose. During the school year they are actively engaged in all the activities of the garden: preparing the soil, planting, fertilizing, maintaining tools and buildings, irrigating, weeding, controlling pests, composting, harvesting and processing.
