Her goal at the middle school was to show children the pleasure in gardening and in preparing the foods that they cultivated. she wanted to teach them that a healthy body and a healthy environment go hand in hand.

In 1995, the first usable crops were planted. The following year brought the addition of plants . Every year since then, new crops are added and old crops are evaluated(评传) to make sure that they are best suited for the environment and the needs of the school.
