A Living Classroom Rooted in Nature
A beautiful sensory garden was built — a tranquil environment for learning and exploration that puts nature at the center of education.
- Planting beds filled with colorful perennials and annuals
- Vegetables and herbs for hands-on cultivation
- Shady trees bordered by a ring of evergreens
- A central waterfall with a stone viewing wall
- Eight comfortable Adirondack chairs for sitting and reading
Growing Seeds — and Students — All Year Long
Lower School students have spent many years growing vegetables from seeds for the garden, teaching the concept of sustainability in Social Studies and Gardening Club. The outdoor garden deepens this tradition by expanding the growing season far beyond spring and fall.
Now, students plant seeds and watch them grow all winter in their science classes thanks to new grow houses and hydroponic gardens — ensuring that nature's beauty and hands-on learning surround students all year long.

The Craig School's garden is more than a beautiful space — it's a living curriculum. We'd love to show you how our students learn, grow, and thrive in this unique outdoor environment. Schedule a visit to see the Read Write Roots program in action.
