CHECK OUT OUR
OUTDOOR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT!
At Johnson Pond Learning Center we believe we have the best playground area for children in Fuquay Varina!
We have made some wonderful upgrades that began in 2012 and continues to be a work in progress. You can find a link regarding this project here.
Whether our wonderful children are at play or involved in one of our many activities outlined above with our planting and growing fresh food they get many opportunities to enjoy this exciting outdoor experience.

Over the past several years we have been growing many new things on the Outdoor Learning Environment and in our garden area. We also have a worm composting farm cared for by the children.
We have been very lucky with our cucumbers (our homemade pickles are delicious!), zucchini (not to brag, but our zucchini bread is amazing), basil (great for seasoning & pesto), and mint (added to water for flavor). The children have enjoyed our abundance of cherry tomatoes, grapes, bell peppers, and broccoli; all of which they consume while playing outside. |
We have grown okra, watermelon, kale, swiss chard, and a few others with limited success. We also have several fruit trees that should start to bear fruit soon.
The children love to help, and they seem to try more foods if they help grow them; which makes our garden very successful! Our garden will continue to expand to include more items we can serve as part of our menu.
