Our Schoolyard gardens are growing!
Parkway Partners’ Schoolyard Gardens Program incorporates the garden into teachers’ curricula. The gardens are used to teach Math, Science, Art and Language Arts. Students get to experience outdoor learning activities while also reaping the benefits of learning about long term planning and the importance of working as a team.
Parkway Partners has developed gardens at the following schools:
- Andrew Wilson Charter
- Benjamin Franklin High
- Edward Hynes Charter
- The International School of Louisiana
- J.W. Johnson School
- Langston Hughes Charter
- Lusher Charter
- Lusher Charter High
- Martin Luther King
- McDonogh 15 School for Creative Arts
Interested in planting trees at your school, or starting a schoolyard garden?
All gardens are a lot of work and need the commitment of a few dedicated teachers, parents and/or community members to thrive. Yet their impact on the school and its students is endless!
Talk with your principal first and then contact Susannah Burley at (504) 620-2224, ext 4, or sburley@parkwaypartnersnola.org to discuss starting a garden at your school.
