Irving's Garden in Bozeman Magazine

http://bozemanmagazine.com/family/kids/irving-elementary-how-does-your-garden-grow

With garlic, spinach and winter wheat all in raised beds at Eighth and Alderson, Irving Elementary is somewhat reminiscent of the first recorded school garden in the United States; Roxbury, Massachusetts, 1891. During the first two World Wars it was considered a patriotic duty of the students to work in the school garden. Since the age of technology, schools have focused primarily on preparing the students in this area and the school gardens have fallen by the way-side. Irving Elementary started their school garden in the Spring of 2009, when the fifth grade class learned to test the soil for nutrients under the direction of volunteer Gallatin Gardener Club member, Don Mathre. The third and fourth graders planted the garlic and spinach last fall. The school also has apple and plum trees on the north side of the building that were planted three years ago.
