Marvin’s Garden and Compost

Marvin's Garden contains 26 raised beds, 9 flower beds, a hoop house, an indoor composting facility, an outdoor composting facility, and a biogas unit that converts greenhouse gases into cooking fuel. Students in preschool through high school help plant in the spring, attend summer camp, and harvest vegetables in the fall that are served in the school's lunch program. Middle school students collect food scraps from the cafeteria and compost them at the garden.
