Children & youths' gardening association/ Kumpula school garden/ Green Branch Youth Program

The Helsinki School Garden celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.  The original motivation for school gardening activities in the city  was the concern for the welfare of the working class families.

The Giving Field on Liberty Street

 The Giving Field on Liberty Street is a donation garden with a mission of feeding the hungry fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, as well as, provide education on living a healthier and more sustainable life through the garden.  All of the harvested food goes to the area soup kitchens to feed the hungry. 

 

This one acre piece of land is located across the street from St. Anne School that teaches children from pre-k thru eighth grade. The students and parents take an active part in planting, maintaining and harvesting at The Field.

Vertical Tower Garden

Aeroponic Tower Garden is a vertical growing system that can be utilized by small spaces. This would allow more schools to be a part of the edible education project. Not all schools have the land necessary for traditional gardening. All children need to be infored of where real food comes from and the benefits of healthy eating. The system is easy to use and environmentally friendly. I have seen preschoolers plant and tend to the garden.

Initiated ten years ago at two schools in the Hayward Unified School District, Project EAT now serves 50 schools in five school districts with a yearly budget over $4 million dollars. Currently, the award winning, nationally recognized Project EAT serves Hayward, Livermore, San Leandro, and San Lorenzo school districts with primary funding from the Network for a Healthy California, funded by the California Department of Public Health.

Jamie Oliver Food Foundation

We want to change the way people eat by educating every child about food, empowering families by arming them with the skills and knowledge to cook again, and inspiring everyone to stand up for their rights to better food; which in turn will fight the epidemic of diet-related diseases.
