Learning doesn’t just take place in classrooms—sometimes you need a little more space to get out under the sky and get your hands in the dirt. To maximize learning spaces at our school, we built and continue to utilize two incredibly healthy and interactive Teaching Gardens.
Bertschi’s organic garden is a hands-on program that helps educate our children about the values of organic farming, growing one’s own food, and supporting others in need.
Designed as an outdoor classroom, this garden preserves indigenous NW plants and uses them in hands-on environmental education taught within the context of social responsibility.
