Collaborative Outdoor Garden

This grant provides a portion of funding for an interior outdoor garden at Mamaroneck High School. This space has been meticulously planned by the MHS Design Club. The Club, comprised of fifteen students and five faculty members, spent 18 months going through the design thinking process to create a design that serves as an outdoor teaching space, alternative performance space and comfortable environment for students to gather for fresh air while also being low maintenance and sustainable. This grant supports the high school’s focus on mindfulness and utilizing spaces in creative ways that encourage collaboration amongst students and between students and adults.

Grantees: Liz Clain, Gwen Bettencourt
