17. Plan A: Most functional layout using current plans S Greenhouse shed Compost worm plant bed 4 x 7 plant bed 4 x 7 bed 6x3 bed 4x3 This layout provides 146 sq. feet of planting space – compared to over 550 sq. feet in old garden Note: aisles have to be provided in 3 foot deep beds so that young children can reach planting areas. bed 4x3 bed 4x3 bed 4x3 Bed 2x11 2x2

18. Plan B: Alternate layout putting raised beds over some concrete areas S GH S C W plant bed 4 x 14 plant bed 4 x 14 plant bed 4 x 8 plant bed 4 x 8 176 sq. feet of planting space – compared to 550 in old gardens This provides more planting space, but not enough to support the current first grade program. It also maximizes southern exposure. It also lacks any work area for students.

Our hope is that additional space could be found elsewhere to support curriculum in other grade levels. Plan C: Alternate layout if concrete and border plantings eliminated Table Table
