Hiawatha Community School is in an ethnically and culturally diverse, urban community. There are 2 campuses: Hiawatha campus houses grades preK- 2nd and Howe grades 3rd-5th. The garden is located on the Howe campus. The garden is a joint project between the school and the PTO. The teachers wanted a garden for several years and parents championed its development when the Howe campus was added as it had a beautiful location for a school garden. Parents, 3rd-5th grade teachers and school administration worked together to plan, design and build the garden on the Howe Campus.
