Students, teachers, distinguished guests and volunteers will be joining
together to “break ground” to install the ECHO Bonita Springs ECHO
Edible Schoolyard “Everything is Edible” Billboard Garden.
Funded by the Bonita Springs Community Foundation, the ECHO Edible
Schoolyard project is a joint community initiative promoting
agricultural education through experiential gardening at Bonita Springs
Middle School. This garden will give students many opportunities to
learn about edible plants, fruit, trees and shrubs. They may even be
able to incorporate the produce into their diet by augmenting snacks or
meals in their lunchroom. Many organizations in the community are
joining together to make this project a reality.
