Clover's Gardens
Clover is fortunate to have many gardens around our campus. We believe that greenery provides not only a healthier environment physically by continuing the water and oxygen cycles of life, but it can also lend a calming, gentle respite from the sometimes rigorous challenges of book-learning. We believe  our garden and eco-pond project not only helps beautify our comapus, but also enhances our interactions with the sutdents and provides opportunities to incorporate the garden with our curriculum.
