About the Program: 

 The Seedlings Project is a garden classroom that was created following the model of The Edible Schoolyard, a garden established by Alice Waters, Owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant in Berkeley, California. With land allocated by the Springs School District, the center of the project is a greenhouse for teaching, learning, and growing. Project MOST, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, and experienced community organization dedicated to high quality after school programs for children, has taken the lead to establish this project and has made it shine.

The Children and youth of Springs School now have a place to go during and after school to FEEL the earth and to GROW and HARVEST food. And students will experience how food is INTEGRAL to SUSTAINING our beautiful planet.

The Springs Seedlings Project is  a member of the Edible School Gardens of the East End.
