Five years later, Perkins moved from South Boston to its current 38.5-acre campus in Watertown, Massachusetts on the banks of the Charles River. Originally the estate of whaling and sugar merchant Josiah Stickney, the new campus came with an orchard and farmland.<br><br>The move allowed for an expanded curriculum that included planting crops and raising animals. At the time, students learned basic gardening skills by tending orchards and gardens that provided fruits and vegetables. In 1934, profits from the poultry business maintained by Perkins' Lower School boys defrayed the costs of an airplane ride organized as part of a year-long transportation study. Horticulture therapy was later introduced as a part-time pilot program and expanded to a full-time program when Perkins hired its first horticultural therapist in 1980. <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#F1F1F3'><tr><td style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=right width="48%" style='width:48.0%'><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://support.perkins.org/site/R?i=GedU-7i76d8D6my7wy6zeA"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://secure2.convio.net/psb/images/content/pagebuilder/fy16-history-and-happenings-sept-sec1.jpg" alt="Photo of Upper School boys walking two-by-two down a path carrying rakes against a backdrop of leafless trees circa 1943."></span></a><o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 align=left width="48%" style='width:48.0%'><tr><td style='padding:22.5pt 12.0pt 15.0pt 12.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:16.5pt'><b><i><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#444444'>A group of Upper School boys walk down a path carrying rakes against a backdrop of leafless trees circa 1943.
