On September 29, 2010, the school began its garden project, to convert their center courtyard into a garden for the entire school to use.
His garden project was a success, with the run having to be extended to meet demand.
Mr. Barthen said he spent about $1,000 a year on the garden project.
Their Truck Farm outreach campaign spawned the creation of 25 mobile garden projects around the country.
The garden project is over, of course, but, as you've said so many times, there are plenty of other designers.
"With the garden project they'll get hands-on lessons in botany and ecology."
To spark enthusiasm at Grant, teachers held a contest in March asking students to come up with a name for the garden project.
It is not known when Ms. Bartlett's complex garden project will be completed.
If you buy timber for a garden project next summer, bear in mind that the label "sustainable" is not good enough.
The garden project, in turn, opened the way for a series of cleanup projects surrounding the new school.
