Next Steps

Our action plan for the future is to add a walkway, seating, a mural, mosaic tiling, trees, and a memorial to Emmett Till. There will be a day of service and celebration on May 12, 2012. 

It is also a goal to find partnerships to improve the quality of the garden. In the future, we hope to secure funding for professional development seminars and training sessions to help teachers incorporate the school garden (i.e. an outdoor classroom) into their curriculum.
