Sentinel Grower's Garden
The Sentinel Grower’s Garden grows veggies and sells them via donation. This is run primarily through the Ticonderoga Highschool Special Ed Classroom.
The Sentinel Growers Garden was started in 2018 with grant money received from the Whole Kids Foundation. Since then, through more grants and donations, it has grown to 10 raised beds, and includes drip irrigation, a 4 tier grow light system, greenhouse, worm farm, and rain collection system. This program is currently run through the Special Ed classroom, with help from the Bio and Living World Classrooms.
Educating children around growing their own food is a huge focus of this program.
