The Teaching Garden is being established with two ideas in mind:

To focus on growing flowers, as possible throughout the seasons, in order to present a colorful and attractive appearance that is visible throughout the park so as to encourage park users to enter the garden and experience it directly.

The second and more impactful idea is to provide educational opportunities at the garden site that seek to build public awareness of sound nutritional principles, food resources available in our community, and simple methods for growing healthful food with minimum expense in our homes.
