(Tulsa, Ok)--On the campus of a Tulsa school west of the river a Global Garden flourishes. In a fenced in area on the east side of Eugene Fields School, the garden is made up of over a dozen brick bordered plots. Every afternoon as school gets out students swarm a tool shed and get to work in the garden. Some weed while others plant. Others water the garden. Soon the children will not have to hook up to a city water line every time they water. The garden is honored by the Organic Gardening Magazine and WaterWorks Project. The honor includes a reward. Global Garden director Heather Oakley says a water conservation system is being set up. It will collect rain that will be used to water the garden. She, and her students, look upon the garden as a way to incorporate science and math concepts in a hands on approach.
