Getting outside in nature is a critical part of child development and learning. Our Gator Garden committee is busy planning ways to renew, improve, and expand access to garden activities for all Alta Heights students. See links below to learn more!

If you are interested in helping with planning and/or developing our garden program, please contact garden chairperson, Adrienne Boudreaux via altaheightsffc@gmail.com.
