Welcome to
Mill Road School Garden    

The Mill Road School Garden is a vibrant outdoor educational space for Red Hook's Elementary School students to learn and grow from hands-on environmental programming. Its purpose is to guide our inquisitive children to a greater understanding of the natural world around them, feeding their inherent curiosity about everything from the soil beneath our feet to the foods we eat. Core subjects like Math, Science, Social Studies and ELA are woven into every lesson, reinforcing the classroom's curriculum through experiential learning. Garden educators and classroom teachers work together to develop garden curriculum that seeks to instill a sense of stewardship and appreciation for our community and those that live within it. Lessons in the garden include not only horticulture, composting, and sustainability, but also map making, creature studies, cooking, problem solving, life cycles and more!  Visitors are welcome in the garden, so please reach out to your child's teacher if you are interested in coming to a garden class as a volunteer. We'd love to have you!   We are so fortunate to have the support of our wonderful community! Thank you to the The Ascienzo Family Foundation and Emerson Foundation for their generous support! We would also like to thank Red Hook Education Foundation and Four Corners Community Farm for their continued support.
