The gardening program at Hamlin Charter Academy is a hands-on life science learning experience offered in collaboration with enrichLA. It focuses on lessons about nutrition, healthy living, gardening, and environmental stewardship. The program aims to help students establish a direct connection between the process of growing fruits and vegetables and consuming these foods in their outdoor kitchens. This initiative not only provides practical gardening skills but also promotes inquiry-based education, where the classroom extends to the outdoors, offering tangible results and a local focus.
