The Dunbar Garden Project (DGP) is a two-acre, outdoor "classroom" serving students from the adjacent Gibbs International Magnet Elementary School and students from the Dunbar Magnet Middle School in the central city area of Little Rock. The Garden functions as an innovative public/private partnership between Little Rock Parks and Recreation, and the two schools.

The mission of the DGP is to preserve the relationship between education and the natural world by providing a hands-on, outdoor, experiential 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.

We are always open to the public for service learning opportunities and tours. All groups are welcome at Dunbar. If you would like to schedule a visit or an event, please contact Damian Thompson.

Thank you for visiting the Dunbar Garden online!
