Welcome to the Fruit Street School Garden!

We have launched our new front pollinator garden and sensory garden along the Pre-k fence! These spaces are designed to attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while providing a sensory-rich experience for our youngest learners.

Despite the squirrels munching on all of our sunflowers, students have been excited to explore the sights, sounds, and textures of nature, fostering curiosity and a love for the environment.
