Displayed within the school’s garden area, this mural hightlights themes of Inclusion and equity, while also showcasing urban gardening, caring, patience and the honing of mother nature. All elements seen in the mural were proposed by the students. “Urban agriculture allows for the development of a variety of environmental, economic, and social benefits to the surrounding communities. Urban farming can reduce transportation costs, help reduce runoff associated with heavy rainfall, and lead to better air quality.” USDA.
