Learning Garden Provided by Leadership North Fulton, Swift School

ROSWELL, Ga. — The Swift School was selected by one of the Leadership North Fulton (LNF) project teams to bring an educational garden to the campus. Throughout the school year, the team from LNF worked with the Swift School to plan, fund and construct both raised bed gardens on the school grounds and a mobile gardening cart to be using in the classrooms. The new gardens teach students about environmental systems and ecosystems and promote healthy eating.

Swift School is a private school in Roswell serving students in first through eighth grade with dyslexia and related language-based learning differences.

“We were thrilled to be selected for this project,” said Swift School Director of Advancement Martha Moore. “It gave us the opportunity to work with a group of leaders in the community on a project that our students will benefit from for years to come.”

The team from LNF consisted of Sheena Philip-Buzbee, State Farm Insurance; Denise Quarles, Siemens; Charlie Rousseau, CBIZ Insurance Services; Sheila Sillitto, North Fulton Community Charities; Colette Varco, Frazier & Deeter, LLC; and Wilfrid Ward, Jr., The Cottage School.

Crabapple Landscape, Beth Herr and Solid Ground Landscape partnered with Swift School and LNF to complete the project.
