ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – On Saturday morning, Wilson Middle School staff and partners cleaned up their community garden of overgrowth to help teach lessons via the outdoors.
The gardening classes offer something unique to the students. It gives them an opportunity to learn about nutrition and sustainable agriculture along with giving them access to fruits and vegetables.
