Wellbeing Garden @ Berkeley Prep School
Bridging the gap between humans and nature!!
Our Vision
To create a dedicated outdoor space on campus to provide students and faculty with a place to destress and recharge while fostering awareness, education, and experiential learning on sustainability and the environment.
The Challenge
Berkeley Preparatory School students strive to excel in various areas, but with growth comes the risk of burnout, stress, anxiety, and fatigue. It is crucial that our school prioritizes student well-being.
