"I’m passionate about the “edible schoolyard” and sustainably grown local, fresh, well-prepared food.  So getting my hands dirty in the culinary garden with such an impressive, inspiring group of gardeners and students - and then sharing delicious dishes prepared by the students with the guidance of their Chef Instructors - made my heart sing!" 
Anna Jannetti, Master Gardener Program volunteer and supporter

Shorewood High School Culinary Arts program has partnered with the WSU Master Gardeners program and its volunteers to plant, grow and nurture a culinary garden for our students.  The garden was started in 2003, but was uprooted in 2012 due to the building of a new school campus.  Our program has a group of dedicated volunteers, who devote a large amount of their volunteer hours to our garden.  They have been instrumental in the rebuilding and replanting of the new garden for the 2013/14 school year along with our Culinary Arts students.  If you would like to be a part of this most important team for the 2014-15 school year, please feel free contact us.  

The WSU Master Gardener program has been cultivating and training a highly effective volunteer community of educators. Master Gardener Volunteers are teaching and demonstrating sustainable gardening practices in plant clinics, community gardens, farmers markets, schools, rehab centers, prisons and many other locations all over Washington.  A few of their goals: 

• Master Gardeners serve a key role in the detection of emerging pest and plant disease problems;
• Teach future generations to produce fresh and nutritious foods for themselves and their communities;
•  Educate consumers about ecological lawn and garden practices;
• Make our communities more environmentally and economically sustainable

Our garden grows as the weather changes...
