Native Garden/Pollinator Garden
Outdoor Classroom
Kids grow and eat the vegetables they grow. Each classroom has a designated garden bed and and access to a custom greenhouse. It's a great space to learn about science and taking care of our environment.

The garden features a native garden highlighting California native plants and their traditional Chumash uses. There is also a pollinator garden designed to teach our students about the Monarch Butterfly Migration and other pollinators.
Trex Plastic recycling challenge
Monarch Grove won a new composite bench for the garden!
As part of our enrichment programs, our school participates in the Trex Plastic Recycling Challenge. Students and families can recycle their clean, squishy plastic by dropping it off in our collection bins. We collect and weigh it each week and send it into the competition. Our school competes against other schools our size on the west coast. Last year we won a new bench for the garden and this year we hope to win again!
This program provides a great opportunity to teach our kids about the value of recycling and keeping pollution out of our landfills and oceans!
