A vegetable garden...
Many dedicated visionaries took part in building this beautiful raised bed garden, cleverly shaped as a flower. Each "petal" is home to many different plants. Students of the Garden Team meet with Mrs. Gold each year to determine a garden planting plan. Care is taken to place together those plants that benefit one another. This is known as companion planting, and aid in plant viability by either attracting pollinators, deterring pests, adding nutrients to the soil, providing shade, or a combination of these.
Here you will find information on the plants you will discover in our Garden. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself!
