Hear from Ms. Jackson at Piccolo Gardens about her experience with Gardeneers

Ms Jackson

“When I started, there was only focus on math and reading because our students were labeled as far behind. Somebody noticed that we have these giant normous beds out of her school. The beds are about 15 feet by 60 feet and there's four of them. That was when I was introduced to Gardeneers and our love affair began.

It [garden space] has completely changed the way I think about food and nutrition. It has also given me a space to have some mental clarity. And the garden has benefited our students, our staff, and our community in the exact same way. I have seen our students become advocates for healthier food options, both at school and at home. They've ventured outside of their comfort zone to try foreign foods like beets and dragon beets, beans, and edible flowers. The garden space is an extension of our educational ecosystem. The garden is breathing new life into our community and our school is looking just as beautiful on the outside as it is on the inside. We couldn't have done it without our friends at Gardeneers.”
