Gardening at Oak Grove is a living ecosystem—a relationship between the land, the plants, and the people who tend, create, learn, and heal within it.
The garden grew alongside our students, who worked collaboratively and contributed to a shared Oak Grove garden and food forest.
Spring is here and the garden is buzzing with life and connection between the grades – it’s beautiful to witness.
During a recent Spring weekend, a group of our high school and 8th grade students backpacked up Horn Canyon to The Pines campground for a weekend of fun and community service.
Each year, India Night is a special gathering for parents and the school community to come together to celebrate our senior class and hear their stories about their extraordinary trip.
As winter whispers in, we’re reflecting on a vibrant season in our school garden—a space that’s blooming with creativity, learning, and connection to the earth.
As autumn paints our school garden with vibrant hues, we’re thrilled to share the heartfelt, organic magic unfolding in our outdoor gardens. The children’s creativity and connection to nature are blooming!
We’re thrilled to share the latest from our school garden program, a heartfelt space where our community connects with nature and each other.
Enjoy this special end-of-year booklet by Garden Teacher and Consultant Arianne Swaffer. Under her thoughtful guidance, students learn how the garden is a place to care for plants and soil while caring for oneself.
The garden is alive with the joyful energy of spring, and we are so excited to share all that’s been happening in our special outdoor classroom.
