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!
