Kidding around the Kitchen

Kidding Around the Kitchen (KATK) brings a “hands on” cooking experience and lesson to the classroom in which the kids actively participate in the preparation of recipes. The result of their cutting, measuring cooking and then eating their creations is more than simply a lesson in health. They get to see, touch, smell and taste the fruits, vegetables, nuts, cheeses, eggs, meats and other ingredients that they may never have previously see in their raw form. The classes reinforce math, science, reading and vocabulary all within a one hour lesson.

Oakland Parks and Recreation Community Gardens Program

Oakland Parks and Recreation is gardening with a purpose, with 16 locations that bring people of all ages and diverse backgrounds together to grow organic vegetables, herbs, fruits and flowers. Additionally, OPR now offers six garden locations run in partnership with schools and nonprofits. These beautiful gardens engage children and community members to help grow food for themselves and their families, at no cost to participate. OPR features 23 sites with youth gardening facilities, including at most of our recreation centers.

Our Nonprofit Organization Partners

Sweetgrass Garden

Mission
The mission of the Sweetgrass Garden Co-op, as a 501 (c) 3 Not-for-Profit Corporation, is to provide free, fresh, naturally grown, local produce to charitable food distribution agencies in South Carolina and to support that effort by growing a portion of the produce for income to sustain the enterprise. We cultivate a variety of fruits and vegetables, using sustainable methods and good agricultural practices, as we educate the public about farming, composting, and distributing food to people in need and the organizations that serve them.

JCCSF Rooftop Garden

The JCCSF Rooftop Garden is a place where children and adults can discover and learn how to grow food and care for plants through a unique range of urban agriculture programming.  Learning opportunities and curriculum include a focus on small scale gardening, culinary education, and environmental awareness.  We regularly serve preschool and SFUSD afterschool students during the school year and throughout the Summer within a diverse camp setting.  An expanded series of Rooftop Garden Workshops will be open to adults this Summer and through the rest of 2013.

Baghdad Community Garden

Mesopotamia—or the “land between two rivers”—has also been known for thousands of years as the Middle East’s “fertile crescent.” The rich soil and temperate climate of the valleys between the Tigris and Euphrates turned ancient Iraq into prime real estate for some of the world’s most ancient civilizations 5,000 years ago. However, after thousands of years of deforestation, climate change, war, and water mismanagement, the land in Iraq is hot and arid and plagued by dust storms year round.
