“Gardening is therapeutic and good for mind, body and spirit,” Dr. Veronica says.

Spinach, bok choy, spearmint, parsley, celery and kale are just a few of foods growing in the garden, which is mounted on a chain-link fence and the ideal option for campuses where space is a concern. It’s also easy on the environment thanks to solar panels and a wind turbine that power the circulation of nutrient-enhanced water. Sanchez already had a traditional garden.

At Sanchez, 70 percent of the students are learning English as a second language with a high number coming from Spanish-speaking homes. Also, a significant number have learning disabilities and are in special education.

“This is something that we should have all over the United States,” Dr. Veronica says. “All schools should have this.”
