Coronado Methodist Church, Pre-School & VPK in New Smyrna Beach, FL implemented riased-bed gardens for their students.

At the heart of CSI Natural's "Contribution Program", the primary interests lie in raising awareness within the local community and educating the youth on the benefits of recycling, composting, and growing/purchasing their own food, locally. As part of the program, CSI Natural and community gardeners work together to implement raised-bed vegetable gardens at select schools within Volusia County.

The Coronado Methodist Church, Pre-School & VPK was selected as a target. Prior to exploring the option of this actually becoming a possibility, the Pre-School Director expressed interest in implementing raised-bed gardens on-site to raise awareness within the community. The chosen space was located adjacent to the school parking lot, turning a once bare area into a food producing vegetable garden.

Bringing the project to life was a snap! The project entailed building the raised-bed(s) using purchased materials, a total of 62 seedlings which consist of mustard, collard greens, cabbage, kale, onions, celery and lettuce all of which were provided by a community gardener in town and 3yrds of CSI Natural Spent Compost. Getting the students involved was a priority so the students and teachers are responsible for watering and weeding adventures so to ensure a successful harvest. Students are also educated on the importance of composting and recycling at their homes and how implementing these practices improves our community and realistically, the entire world.
