Rebuild Global Breaks Ground on Community Garden at Washington Elementary School
Washington Elementary is the first in a county-wide project to establish gardens at every elementary school in San Diego County
SAN DIEGO – November 10, 2010 – Rebuild Global, a non-profit organization dedicated to environmentally and socially responsible architecture and design projects in San Diego, is breaking ground on a community vegetable garden at Washington Elementary School in Little Italy, 1789 State Street, San Diego, CA 92101 on November 13, 2010 at 9:00 am – 2:00 pm. Washington Elementary School is the first school to receive a garden as part of a county-wide project by Rebuild Global.
Elementary school gardens have been shown to improve academic achievement, create positive attitudes towards science and learning, and foster a pride of ownership of accomplishments in students. Additionally, the Washington Elementary School garden will teach students about healthy nutrition and the positive environmental impact of sustainable local food sources, as well as provide access to open spaces and outdoor recreation activities.
In 2009 Rebuild Global hosted the projectFIND competition to search for projects to inspire, educate and engage San Diego residents and visitors while building social, environmental and artistic awareness throughout our city. Taylor Scherner, a young aspiring architect won the competition with the “The School Garden Network”, a project plan to build a vegetable garden for every elementary school in San Diego County. The School Garden Network aims to teach children, first-hand, the benefits of growing and harvesting their own food, and encourage school field trips to local farms to teach the importance of sustainable, local agriculture practices.
The public is invited to join Rebuild Global, along the American Institute of Architecture Student Association and Victory Gardens in the ground breaking of the Washington Elementary School garden. More than 45 volunteers including parents and students will be involved in hand shaping the landscape, building planter boxes and planting the new garden.
“The project is one of a kind; it started off as a competition and has evolved into project that is receiving great community support from individuals, organizations and corporations. We couldn’t have asked for a better project and look forward to receiving our next set of proposals for projectFIND,” said Sandra Plaza, co-founder and managing director at Rebuild Global.
“Washington Elementary is the perfect place for an urban garden,” said Janie Wardlow, principal at Washington Elementary. “Building this garden will bring together our students, parents and community members by providing a project that beautifies the school and teaches us about our food sources and our environment.”
Additionally, Rebuild Global is in design development for a second school garden at Matthew Sherman Elementary school in Sherman Heights. The San Diego Port Authority and Dole Food Company have offered their support for the project and local architect Kevin DeFreitas has volunteered his services for the project.
