THE SCHOOL GARDEN UNDERWENT A COMPREHENSIVE RECONSTRUCTION. AT THE SCHOOL ENTRANCE, THE PAVING WAS REPLACED, EXPANDING THE SPACE SIGNIFICANTLY TO ACCOMMODATE CHILDREN'S GATHERINGS, AND ADDING CIRCULAR AND ARCH BENCHES. AN OUTDOOR CLASSROOM WITH BLACKBOARDS AND RAISED BEDS FOR GROWING HERBS AND VEGETABLES WAS CREATED IN THE SCHOOL GARDEN.

THE OUTDOOR CLASSROOM IS SHADED BY SUNSHADES TO PROTECT AGAINST DIRECT SUNLIGHT. THOUSANDS OF PERENNIALS, SHRUBS, AND SEVERAL TREES WERE PLANTED THROUGHOUT THE GARDEN. A CHILDREN'S PLAYGROUND WITH SEVERAL PLAY ELEMENTS FOR THE AFTER-SCHOOL CARE GROUP WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE BACK SECTION OF THE GARDEN. BETWEEN THESE AREAS, A RESTING AREA FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF WAS CREATED WITH PERENNIAL PLANTINGS.

THEY NOW HAVE THE OPTION TO PARK AT A NEW PARKING LOT WITH A CAPACITY OF 14 SPACES, WHICH DOES NOT OCCUPY SPACE FOR STUDENTS. THE PARKING LOT WAS SENSITIVELY INTEGRATED INTO THE SPACE AND DOES NOT DISRUPT THE HARMONY OF THE NATURAL GARDEN.
