Welcome to Guilford County Cooperative Extension School Garden Network team blog! We hope this can be a space for everyone involved in school gardening in Guilford County to share their experiences. Lets let each other know about what works, and troubleshoot what doesn't!

Oak Hill Elementary


At Oak Hill Elementary we love getting our hands dirty!  Students help take care of a garden behind the school where we grow vegetables, flowers and fruit.  We have four raised beds, an herb spiral, a bean tipi, and a flower garden, as well as blueberry bushes, apple trees and fig trees! Students also learn about food and nutrition by cooking and tasting the what they grow. FoodCorps, Guilford County 4-H, and Girl Scouts help us bring hands-on learning to the garden. 

The garden was started many years ago and is always changing. This year we hope to add an outdoor classroom with a shade shelter.

Come visit us anytime! You can see our fig trees, admire the sunflowers, or taste some yummy potatoes!
