DESCRIPTION
The S.M.A.R.T. Garden, located at 1619 S. Flores in the St. Henry's Church courtyard. The education garden will serve as an outdoor classroom to Briscoe Elementary students and the wider community. Our students will develop, manage and design all directional and educational signage along with the main focal mural set to adorn the primary garden wall.
GARDEN ART
Our signature mural wall is only the beginning. We plan to infuse our garden with more inspiration to ripple through the community. We build community through art education. It's what we do. Thank you Satori for your design, your creativity and your energy! You are amazing!
