The Garden Center will allow North Eugene High School students to learn and work in the context of an urban garden with ongoing student-centered projects.
We are converting an empty lot on the school grounds into a Garden Learning Center. The Garden Center will allow North Eugene High School students to learn and work in the context of an urban garden with ongoing student-centered projects.
The Center will be used by all the small schools on the North campus. The project has several components:
• Greenhouses
• Garden Space
• Composing and Soil Development
• Amphitheater
• Tea Garden
• Child Development Center
NEHS students will be highly involved in the designing, building, and maintaining of this facility. Construction projects will utilize the metals, woods, and construction programs already established at North.
Additionally, we are working with the U of O School of Architecture to create a master plan.
Key features of the project
• Two 30’x 50’ greenhouses
• Work space for a classes to work on seed and genetics projects
• Storage shed
• Student-grown vegetable, herb, and perennial gardens
• Berry and vine garden
• Community garden
• Tea Garden that is a cross between a Zen Garden and an art gallery
• Composting and soil development work center
• An outdoor amphitheater to perform musical and theatrical pieces with seating set into the landscape
• A 6,500 square foot Child Development Center where students work with and teach children with art studio spaces, classrooms, an indoor gym, outdoor play spaces and gardens with a small greenhouse especially for the Pre-K students.
The projected cost of the entire project is $365,000. We have hit the ground running with a $6,000 Meyer Memorial Trust grant.
