At MileStone Lane we inspire students' natural curiosity and wonder with hands-on learning experiences and inquiry-based exploration with gardening.
Five Reasons we Cultivate and Nurture a Community Garden
- It encourages children to eat healthier
- It provides engaging, moderate exercise
- It builds a sense confidence
- It develops STEM & analytical abilities
- It builds a sense of community
Every year as part of our Summer Instructional Program, the children take part in cultivating and nurturing a community garden. Our garden becomes a Grand Teacher; as the children grow a variety of flowers, herbs & spices, vegetables, pumpkins and berries to be later harvested and shared within the MileStone Lane community.
She, the “Grand Garden Teacher”, teaches the lessons of patience and careful watchfulness, while understanding that, there is nothing more eagerly anticipated than harvesting a wheel-barrel full of pumpkins!
