This community garden behind Huckleberry Hill Elementary School is helping to teach elementary school children about flowers and vegetables, as well as helping the community. Each class will plant and take care of one area of the garden. Food is used in the school cafeteria, as well as donated to the Brookfield Food Pantry. Teachers will use the garden to supplement many of their lessons. For example, second-grade teachers use the butterfly garden section when their students learn about the life cycle of the butterfly.
