About the garden

TODO: replace with real copy. The Wy'East Community Garden is a hands-on outdoor classroom at Wy'East Middle School in Vancouver, Washington. Students plant, tend, and harvest through the school year, learning where food comes from and how a small piece of ground can be cared for over time.
