EMA and LAUSD: GET TO KNOW YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL GARDENS
North Hollywood Senior High School
The North Hollywood High School garden, farm is more appropriate, is the paragon of school gardens. Sitting on 7-acres, the garden serves as a nursery for the rest of LAUSD garden programs. According to a recent LA Times article it “hosts a small Chardonnay vineyard, a greenhouse, a plethora of dahlias, several chickens and a pig named Francine.”
The garden, in addition to acting as a nursery for other programs, also grows herbs and vegetables sold to local restaurants and farmers’ markets.
Amy Smart - co-mentor at NoHo with Carter Oosterhouse - gets down and dirty with the students in the garden.
The North Hollywood Senior High School garden spans across seven acres of land.
The garden has rows upon rows of fruits, vegetables, plants and flowers.
The courtyard is filled with lush, shady trees that provide a lovely atmosphere for the students.
