At Elmbank Junior Middle Academy, the PACT Grow-to-Learn program has initiated a Community Orchard that promotes hands-on learning and aims to produce locally grown, organic fruit. This project aligns perfectly with the school's mission of inclusivity and community engagement, and further enhances opportunities for education and empowerment in the area. The garden at Elmbank is designed with universal accessibility in mind, ensuring that individuals of all abilities can enjoy the beauty of nature and engage in meaningful learning experiences. The garden is also home to a variety of vegetables and herbs, providing students with a comprehensive understanding of organic farming practices.
