ACM Acres

ACM Acres school garden began in the fall of 2012 and has continued to be a place where the students of ACM can learn and experience life science in a hands-on way. This on-campus garden is a place where students and families come together to plant, tend, and reap the benefits of hard work, education, and community.

ACM PTA funds a part-time Garden Educator who creates curriculum that not only encourages healthy eating and knowledge about earth sciences but also enhances other classroom curriculum. There are many opportunities for ACM families to volunteer in the garden (and those volunteers are welcome to take any ripe herbs/ vegetables as a reward!).

VOLUNTEER WITH US

Maintaining the ACM Acres requires help from our community. No gardening experience is needed and it is a great way for the students to feel a sense of ownership for their garden. We need volunteers to sign up for big monthly work days like mulch laying, and little weekly workdays for weeding and watering. If you are interested please email acmacres@acmpta.org.

We have a big September workday coming up on September 19, 8-11 a.m.! Also weekly volunteers are needed to weed and water. Signups COMING SOON!

GARDEN WORK DAY

Volunteer at ACM Acres! It's fun, free, and open to your whole family! Please consider volunteering on a garden work day to help our garden grow! Big help and little help is always needed. Students and families have told us how much more connected they feel to the garden after being part of its care. Plus, we have donuts!
