A PROJECT IN PROGRESS
Our "parking lot project" in partnership with C-Road church is pushing limits by converting an old parking lot into a community orchard. With excavation starting soon, this is our most extreme makeover to date!
We know how frustrating it is to work with a "professional" who doesn't really know their profession, this parking lot project is a public-facing project that will let you see behind the scenes as we document every success (and failure) along the way!
3 Simple Steps to Your School Orchard
Grow a vibrant learning space for students
Is Your School Landscape Missing Life?
You want the best for your students
At Eden’s Refuge, we know that a barren landscape can diminish students’ ability to learn and engage. Our beautiful orchard designs not only provide essential nutrients through fresh fruits and vegetables, but they also create an ecosystem that fosters hands-on learning. Imagine your students involved in planting and caring for their own food source then sharing the abundance with their community while absorbing lessons about sustainability and teamwork. With us, your school can transform into a lively educational garden for generations to come.
Here's how we do it: 1. Book a consultation 2. Eden's Refuge creates a plan 3. Involve your students.
So, book a consultation. And in the meantime, download our PDF with tips on incorporating your orchard into your school curriculum!
