Gardening Course and Program:
Norman Johnston has been growing its own produce for over 6 years now and has been providing students with practical skills to be able to grow their own food at home. Norman Johnston is partnered with “Growing up Organic” and “Just Food Farms” and will continue to grow real food and increase student knowledge of where food comes from. NJ recently received a grant from the “Whole Kids Foundation” to expand our current garden beds and provide more opportunities for students to play in the dirt. Currently we have 300+ square feet of cultivated garden beds and three hydroponic towers in classrooms where salad greens and herbs are grown. See Laura for more details!
