School gardens in Springfield have expanded to over 40 schools with a plan to expand gardens to remaining locations that can host an outdoor growing space. This year it is hoped we will achieve all elementary schools having an outdoor garden. Our gardens grow vegetables, fruit, herbs, and flowers and are used in engaging lessons to support academic curriculum standards.
