Mission statement: Our mission as the garden team of Redmond Elementary is to cultivate a love of gardening and nature in our school community. We aim to create a sustainable, organic garden that provides hands-on learning opportunities for students and inspires healthy eating habits. Through teamwork, education, and stewardship, we will maintain a vibrant and diverse garden that nourishes both our bodies and minds. Our goal is to foster a deeper connection to the natural world and empower students to be active participants in creating a greener, healthier future for our planet.

Upcoming Events: 

Redmond Elementary Garden Team’s Annual Event: 1st Graders Plant Daffodils!

Join us on Thursday, October 17th, as our enthusiastic 1st graders roll up their sleeves and plant daffodils in the school garden. This annual event is a wonderful opportunity for our young students to learn about gardening and contribute to the beauty of our school grounds. Don’t miss out on this delightful day of planting and fun!

How can you help?

We’d like your help to create a permanent public display to welcome visitors.

There is a chance we can install a buddy bench (from an approved vendor), with district approval and support from the PTSA. If interested, please let us know!

We’d like student and family input to choose elements for vertical interest.

In the summer, please consider donating several days to water our four small, raised beds. The time commitment would be less than two hours in the morning or late afternoon. The water will be brought to you; it is a matter of hooking up a pump and turning on the hose.

Last, but certainly not least, we would love for you to visit. If you like, please send pictures of your students and family enjoying our garden so we can share them on this page!
