FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sausalito, CA – November 9, 2007 -- Sloat Garden Center has chosen two schools to receive Adopt a Garden grants for the Fall 2007 semester.
Roosevelt Elementary School of Burlingame and Sanchez School of San Francisco will both receive $1,000 garden grants based on their gardening goals and plans.
Each year, Sloat Garden Center chooses 4 grant recipients schools to illustrate the positive impact that gardening at school can have on Bay Area students and their communities. “We have made a commitment to school gardens in our neighboring communities and we hope these grant monies will help students discover a love of gardening,” explains Dave Straus, Sloat Garden Center owner.
Throughout the Bay Area, school gardens have been integrated into curriculums to teach nature, science, language, math, art, history, economics, nutrition, wildlife and social skills. For many students these are once-in-a-lifetime, hands-on learning opportunities that put into practice what is learned in theory.
