Santa Cruz Local: Capitola Elementary Garden Lab Still Remains

Capitola Elementary was closed in the spring of 2004 due to the minimal enrollment and overcrowding of the neighboring middle school. However, the garden lab still remains and is maintained by the students of NBMS (New Brighton Middle School).
