School Garden of the Month

Ellsworth Elementary Middle School

"At the Ellsworth Elementary Middle School, we are very excited about our “growing” outdoor curriculum. Our vision is to create easily accessible outdoor spaces for students, staff and community members to engage together, in an active role, to establish, maintain and promote an appreciation for the natural environment. Our mission is to provide all students with opportunities to integrate learning into the outdoor classroom." EEMS

Surrounded by gardens and supported by community, a recipe for success!

Learn about the great things happening at Ellsworth Elementary Middle School, how they got there and how MSGN is excited to help. Read all about it in our newsletter's School Garden of the Month segment.
