*As winter approached during the writing of this article, some plants have already been harvested or have wilted due to the cold and thus have no photos. This spread is not a comprehensive list of all crops grown in the Garden.
Tucked in behind Gelb Science Center, the Abbot Learning Garden is a bright sanctuary marking Andover’s first steps into exploring organic and regenerative agriculture. The project is funded by the Abbot Academy Fund and led by the school’s sustainability coordinator, Ms. Allison Guerette. Working with students from across a range of programs and initiatives such as the Phillips Academy Sustainability Coalition (PASC) and the Science 420 course: Food, Agriculture, and the Future, they planted a myriad of crops across the Garden’s raised beds and in-ground. With that, enjoy our selection of the Garden’s produce, edition Fall 2022!
The Garden and its crops are welcome for all to visit and harvest - please be conscious of your own actions and remember to always leave some for the next person :)
