New River Elementary School Gardens

NRE School Gardens is a community based schoolyard gardening program in Oak Hill, West Virginia. We were formed in 2011 as part of a pilot Farm to School initiative between Fayette County Schools, High Rocks Educational Corporation, the WV Office of Child Nutrition, and AmeriCorpsWV. We cultivate interactive demonstration and production style gardens during the school year as well as provide shared plots for our large school community throughout the growing season. We are committed to promoting project based learning, getting our kids outside, and providing more ways to get involved with the schools.
