Becker Green Classroom

The oldest school garden in AISD! Started by Carla Marshall in 1989. Even then, AISD didn’t have the funding to hire teachers. She volunteered her time, money, and resources to teach and build the garden from scratch. She invited friends, neighbors, parents and others to help and in doing so built one of the most intentional communities I’ve been a part of. To this day the Becker Green Classroom is run by parent and community volunteers who donate their time, money, and resources to fundraise, plan, and continue Carla’s dream to weave gardening and environmental education with academic excellence in math, science, social studies, language, art , and music for all elementary students
