Farm to Classroom is seeking community support to build a lasting greenhouse in the heart of our beloved garden!
Winter winds deconstructed our temporary greenhouse, a 12'x24' gothic arch structure of recycled Maple Rock Farm plastic that lasted 2 years.
Our desired kit , undergoing permit process now, is identical in shape and size to our
temporary one, but made with hard polycarbonate walls and Cypress arches, guaranteed to last 10 years.
With generous matching donations from Orcas Island Garden Club, San Juan Master Gardeners, Orcas Food Co-op Farm Fund, Madie Murray, Mandy Randolph, TWillliams Realty, Mary Anne Owen, Joe Symons, Permit Resources, and anonymous donors we have secured $4,500, half of our kit cost.
We are now asking for $4,500 by end of April, to reach our greenhouse kit price and build this June.
Farm to Classroom is housed under Orcas Island Education Foundation 501(c)(3) and our garden is on the grounds of Orcas Island Public School, near the elementary building and beneath giant Maple tree. Over 200 kids (k-5) and Middle School tend to and learn in our garden and classroom each week during the school year. Our mission is to cultivate early connections to earth stewardship, sustainability, organic agriculture, nutrition and cooking, STEM curriculum, natural movement, mindfulness, and wild nature.
With gratitude for helping us grow!
