Elizabeth Hall, head of outreach and development at the Garden School Foundation, emphasizes the importance of the gardens for teaching climate literacy, stating, "The gardens are critical to teaching climate literacy to 453 pre-kindergarten through fourth-grade students. With about 90% of our students classified as low-income, this hands-on approach is essential for their education and understanding of environmental issues."
Principal Veronica Brown highlights the innovative learning at 24th Street Elementary, sharing, "These things should be replicated at every school. Our students learn where their food comes from, how to grow it and cook it, and then recycle the waste into compost, which fosters a deeper connection to their environment."
