Logan Montessori Edible Garden
Capitol Hill Montessori at Logan, Washington, D.C.
The Logan Montessori Edible Garden is transforming the urban landscape around the new Capitol Hill Cluster School into a healthy green space and outdoor classroom. The project aims to stimulate children physically, academically, and socially and to reconnect the community to local agricultural and ecological systems. The space will provide a vibrant garden for children and families to grow edible plants, harvest them, and use them to prepare healthy meals. Parents and the local community will be invited to join in community building events such as workplace volunteer days, potluck gatherings and birthday celebrations.
