School Gardens Committee

Our mission is to promote the establishment, success, and continued maintenance of school gardens in East Baton Rouge Parish.

Presently we are focused on elementary and middle school school gardens and the children who garden. We help in three ways:

• We work one-on-one with teachers to show them the best ways to garden so they can focus on teaching.
• We organize annual workshops where educators who garden with students can increase their knowledge of gardening and network with each other, with Master Gardeners, and with LSU AgCenter professionals.
• We provide seeds, plants, and Clegg's gift cards to the schools we support.

For more information or to volunteer with us, contact Kerry Hawkins at 44khawk@gmail.com.
