The community garden project was a combined venture between Alternative Education’s Gateway High School and Special Education’s Therapeutic Intervention Program (TIP) to give at-risk students a real-world, hands-on Career Technical Education (CTE) experience. It allowed students to be innovative and collaborative with peers, teachers and the broader community. Infrastructure was put into place (pluming, electrical, humus, etc) and tree, vine and vegetable crops were planned and planted by students. There are plans to use the fresh fruits and vegetables for the TIP program to supplement meals and for the Gateway students to sell during a Farmers' Market. A tool shed will be constructed by Clovis High School's CTE Construction class for this project that will by utilized by many students in future years.
