Garden of Pride

Woodland Park Elementary School’s Garden of Pride is an educational project for students, teachers, parents, and community members. It consists of 20 raised beds, a hoop house and herb garden, fruit trees, and strawberry and native plant beds. Students enjoy the fruits of their labor by eating fresh produce they grow and harvest, as shared through the school salad bar and lunch program.
