Pre-School students at Terra Centre releases ladybugs into the TC Discovery Garden. They watched them grow in our Ladybug Land dome from larva, to pupa, to adult ladybugs! It was really fun! They know the ladybugs will eat the "bad bugs" in the garden!

The overall mission of the Discovery Garden is to expand the school learning environment to the natural world and introduce students to sustainably grown organic vegetable gardening. 

The Discovery Garden will be a resource for interdisciplinary learning across all the major academic subjects areas, the fine arts, and health and life skills.

The Discovery Garden will foster community pride and service.

The Discovery Garden will teach students to be respectful stewards of their natural world and instill in them a personal responsibility to live sustainably within it.
