The Dunbar Garden project is a two-acre outdoor classroom. Our mission is to preserve the relationship between education and the natural world by providing hands-on, outdoor, education for school children, teenagers and adults. One key focus is teaching children the origin of the foods they eat. There are over 150 hands on gardening and environmental education classes for school children taught each year.
Our garden serves the students from the adjacent Gibbs International Magnet Elementary School and Dunbar Magnet Middle School in Little Rock, Arkansas. The garden functions as an innovative public/private partnership between the Little Rock Parks and Recreation Department, Gibbs and Dunbar Schools.
We are open to the public for learning opportunities and tours. All groups are welcome!
