About Shark Garden:
The New Start Community Garden AKA the Shark Garden is a nonprofit teaching garden in Burien, WA. It was started in 2015 as a school garden for New Start High School, a magnet school for at risk youth in the Highline School District (mascot the shark). Today, the 1.6 acre garden is a nonprofit learning space where the community can come to learn about growing food, environmental science, and cooking traditions from around the world. We are a unique combination of school, community, and botanical gardens. The community p-patch serves over 70 local families and the school garden area is managed by volunteers to grow food for the White Center Food Bank.
