LOWER COLUMBIA SCHOOL GARDENS
Cultivating the values of lifelong learning, sustainability, health, and community.
Our small but mighty team has not been able to update this page in quite some time. Much of the info is still accurate, but some of it has changed. For more current info about specific gardens or our programs, please reach out to us at info@lcschoolgardens.org or call / text 360-200-8918. We thank you!.
In 2009, 1st grade teacher Janell Bittner reduced her schedule to half time to spearhead a new school garden at Columbia Heights.
Together students, families, staff, and PTO installed 7 raised beds in a central courtyard in the front of the school. In 2011 they expanded the space by 200%, adding a shed, planting beds, curved paths, and compost bins.
Once a week kids come out to garden and cook with volunteers; every October they celebrate their hard work with a school wide harvest festival.
