The
Ashford Primary School Garden was initiated in fall 2004. The cylinder garden
and greenhouse involve the participation of all 500 of the students in the
school. The greenhouse has produced lemon, lime and orange trees as well
as lettuce, corn and other vegetables. The cylinder garden started with 100
cylinders and in spring of 2005 grew to over 200 cylinders. This organic
garden is organic and is being watered with recycled rainwater. Ashford school
teaches students grade K-2.
The school is in the planning stages of turning 1/2 acre of land into an outdoor education center complete with a pond, wildflowers, fruit trees, native Texas plants, and a raised bed vegetable garden. The school is seeking volunteers and donations to assist with this project.
