Smilie Memorial School Kitchen Garden features raised vegetable beds, blueberry and raspberry bushes, pear and plum trees and a greenhouse. Our garden is accessible to all students, grades Pre-K through 4th. Students participate in all aspects of the garden experience, from seed starting and raising plant starts to harvest and cooking. We also engage in composting practices in both the cafeteria and in the garden, with classroom compost collection starting in 2019. As of February 2019, we are one of 3 schools in Chittenden County composting on site.
