Blooming Heights Edible Schoolyard & Outdoor Classroom

Our Mission

The mission of Blooming Heights Edible Schoolyard is to support academic achievement and promote healthy nutrition for students in the Columbia Heights Public School District. As a district-wide organic school garden, Blooming Heights is a resource for all teachers and students to use as a living laboratory and outdoor classroom to enhance class lessons and curriculum. The garden is also open to community members as a space to learn about growing nutritious food and sustainable gardening.

City of Oakland Community Gardens Program

The City of Oakland's Community Gardens Program provides 16 community gardens and 17 youth programs citywide.  Our youth programs provide children ages 4-13 with the opportunity to learn where their food comes from, growing organic herbs and vegetables for cooking onsite at recreation centers, or at home with their families.  Please contact program coordinator Peter Collier at 510.238.2197 for more information, or send him an email at pcollier@oaklandnet.com.  You can also visit a City of Oakland recreation center to see how you can get involved

Edible School Garden Designs

As a cookbook author and kitchen garden designer, I see opportunities for schools to create beautiful gardens that go beyond growing basic food. I work with school gardeners who seek creative ways to build edible garden areas to invite the whole school community to spend time outdoors connecting to the food that is grown miraculously from a small seed.
