Partnerships bring garden to life at North Middle School

Some say “It takes a village.” 

Two teachers had a dream of building a conservation garden at Boerne Middle School North. Nicole Willingam and Amber Waltz had a vision to extend the classroom beyond traditional settings by expanding learning to take place outdoors. Gardening provides students with hands-on opportunities to gain knowledge and experience in an interactive setting while increasing environmental awareness. 

“It was a coincidence that we started this project together,” Willingham said.
