What is Granny's Garden School?
  • Children getting their hands dirty while planting, harvesting, eating and sharing vegetables through standards based lessons.
  • Children making bouquets to deliver with Meals on Wheels and growing plants for Habitat homes while connecting with nature.
  • A non-profit organization that turned the school grounds into an outdoor classroom - at no cost to the school system.
  • Helping others with the innovative and practical conversion of their school yards into living classrooms to reach more children.

Phenomenal is just one of the many descriptors that can be applied to the impact of Granny’s Garden School on our children, staff, and community. This unique program has been an uplifting experience for our total school community and has the full support of the Board of Education, school staff, and me. Its benefits are incalculable.

We commend the Loveland school board, superintendent and principals for creating an environment where an organization such as Granny's Garden School could evolve. Their willingness to expand educational opportunities outside of the four walls of the traditional classroom make it possible to offer a unique learning opportunity to their students.
