From Preschool through High School, students grow their own food — tending classroom gardens, composting, building community gardens, and, as seniors, applying what they've learned to real sustainability challenges through a capstone project.
The program runs across four Garden of Bliss growing spaces: a 4,100-square-foot greenhouse, an orchard of more than twenty-five fruit trees, a middle-school-managed food forest, and a collection of organic gardens. The greenhouse uses rainwater catchment and a solar-powered drip system, extending the growing season with cold frames well into December.
The curriculum has been recognized by the Edible Schoolyard Project in Berkeley, California, founded by Alice Waters — covering seeds and plants alongside nutrition, cooking, and culture, so students build a lasting, hands-on relationship with real food.
