Expansion of the Abraxas High School Garden – Abraxas Orchard

Abraxas High School, located in Poway, California, is a continuation high school that serves at-risk high school students as well as transitional special needs students (ages 18-22) who have developmental disabilities.  The school started a garden called Abraxas High School Garden, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), by transforming a little used tennis court into a thriving outdoor classroom to teach students about growing healthy food and about giving back to the local community by donating produce to needy families within the community and their student body, as well as providing a recently installed outdoor kitchen to start a true farm to table culinary program. The purpose of this project is to raise funds to expand the Abraxas High School Garden to create the Abraxas Orchard on a portion of an unused ball field. The Orchard will provide the students with a tranquil outdoor sanctuary and a working garden.
