The Garden
The Dr. Linda Scales Art Garden
Dedicated to the schools founder, Dr. Linda Scales, the Art Garden started with a single flower bed and bloomed into a space for the community to enjoy. Filled with flowers, vegetables, and herbs, what started off as an empty lot became a living, breathing work of art which and now includes a stage for entertainment and open air concerts, as well as a larger-than-life mural by Jay Jacobs.
Students learn about gardening throughout the year through regular visits to our outside garden and are taught about healthy and sustainable food, and have the opportunity to engage directly with the garden by attending the Garden Club during the summer. We encourage all members of our community to visit and grab a handful of herbs and vegetables as they need!
The Garden is also home to a little free Library put together by local artist and faculty member Jacob Boland, and a beautiful blessing box!
Health Resources for JNSA Families and the Augusta community!
We are very grateful for the Augusta University College of Nursing- Clinical Nurse Leader Program for putting together some amazing health and mental health resources for JNSA Families and our community. Resources include clinic, insurance, mental health, and pediatric resources and information at little to no cost to community members. They also created and installed this beautiful blessing box in our Art Garden! Donations are welcome and needed! Click here for more information!
