Captain Planet to the Rescue!

Students at Cherokee Charter Academy kept the school's Learning Garden in tip-top shape thanks to help from an environmental superhero.

CCA students, with help from a Captain Planet emissary, Cherokee Master Gardeners and the school’s new teachers, enjoyed a garden scavenger hunt and a cooking demonstration using fresh produce plucked from CCA’s Learning Garden.

A Captain Planet Foundation Project Learning Garden grant provided Cherokee Charter with hands-on training, lesson kits, a fully-equipped garden cooking cart and summer garden management support.

Captain Planet’s message: “Gardens can provide a context for multidisciplinary learning, ranging from nutrition and science to social studies, math and language arts!”
