Our Columbian School Garden Project will employ students from High Schools in Denver to cultivate, maintain and harvest a school garden at the Columbian Elementary School in which the students will learn about gardening, nutrition, the importance of physical exercise, leadership skills and business practices. These students will become mentors for younger students at Columbian Elementary and will be the teachers of a summer and after school garden program where they will host neighborhood farmer's markets for the community to allow low-income residents access to affordable, healthy, locally-grown produce.
