Dr. Stewart Slafter

Dr. Stewart Slafter has taught for thirteen years at Sacred Heart School, a pre-school through 12th grade private school in Atherton, California. Under Dr. Slafter’s leadership, a 20,000-square-foot organic garden is maintained and operated by students and faculty as part of an Environmental Science and Global Studies course. Dr. Slafter says, “One of the chief purposes of our garden is to teach students how to be stewards of the earth’s resources. By teaching young people about sustainability; how they can grow food and learn every step in the process, they understand that agriculture can be continued on a permanent basis.” Dr. Slafter’s wide knowledge and enthusiasm inspire students in all age groups.
