Prince of Wales Community Garden

The plan for this project is to take unused land on the side of the school and turn it into a community garden. The garden will be divided into four areas. One area will be used for our school's nutrition classes to grow food for nutrition labs. One area will be used for our school's science classes to use for labs and experiments. One area will be donated to several low-income families in the area to grow their own food. The last area will be made available to rent by anyone in the community with the profits going to growing the size of the garden in future years.
