I've visited a lot of elementary schools over the years, and I've been involved in improving schoolyard habitats, too, but I haven't run across a more interesting (and charming) school landscape than the gardens at this neighborhood experiential magnet school in Asheville, NC.
Isaac Dickson Elementary School probably was a low-income school, as it's near a housing project, but I don't know that for sure.
What I see now is a fabulous vegetable garden, complete with chickens and a cob wood-fired oven, great gardens outside classrooms, and a wonderful meadow entrance garden that's a NC Wild site.
Totally great, and I'd love to help out in their gardens...
