Life Learning Academy Garden

This beautiful food garden is located in the middle of treasure island. It is used as a learning resource for local youth and is a great example of how gardens can be incorporated into any curriculum. There is a great article about the garden here. To learn more about the life learning academy and how it helps at risk youth in the SF area you can check their site out.


Each one of these plots in their garden is planted with one crop. There are some great cabbages, beans, lettuces and many other herbs growing. One section of the garden is dedicated to native plants and is left to appear overgrown as a native plant garden should since it is a symbiotic relationship.
