I thought I would post some pictures from one of the schools I work with in Mississippi.  This is a courtyard garden that the students work and maintain.  Notice the EBs.

Gardendoc,
GREAT JOB!  We offer a Youth Garden Guide that provides 17 hands-on activities focused on planting, nurturing and harvesting 21 healthy crops.  Over 450 schools throughout the US have incorporated an Earthbox garden at their facility.  Our age-specific curriculum is standards-based and the Earthbox is classroom friendly! Tell us more, we'd love to hear what the school is doing with their produce.  How many boxes do they have?  Is this a new program?

It took you guys long enough to spot the "drawers"   Cheesy

John, this is work of gifted and special ed students.  The EBs are used as a demonstration for them.  We are working on beefing their program up in the future.  Thanks for the nice comments.

I am charged up right now.  Just received my elementary, middle school, and high school EB curriculum materials.  Will be meeting with my teachers and see how we can use them and enhance some classroom plant-science.

In one of KayakerNC's earlier posts this year of his garden there are TTs hanging that look just like a set of drawers hanging out on the line.  http://picasaweb.google.com/KayakerNC/EarthBox2009#5321960009503003586
