Growing SEL & Farm-to-Table Learning in the Shortlidge Community Garden
Our school garden is a vibrant space where Kindergarten to Grade 2 students not only grow plants but also develop essential social-emotional skills. Through teamwork, patience, and responsibility, they learn to care for the environment and each other. As they explore the farm-to-table journey—planting seeds, harvesting food, and understanding where their meals come from—students build a deeper appreciation for nature, healthy eating, and collaboration. The garden is a hands-on classroom where they grow, learn, and thrive together!
