City Growers

City Growers administers educational tours and workshops at Brooklyn Grange rooftop farms.  Using the working farms as learning laboratories, students K-12 experience urban agriculture first hand, enabling them to better grasp where their food comes from, and empowering them to make healthy choices for themselves and the environment.

Martin Luther King Jr. Sr. High School Organic Garden

We are in the first year of building our gardens here at the new King.  We have newly constructed school and campus.  The out or doors portion of the campus is vast and has lots of potential for growing and learning.  We have started with 4 raised beds in the designated garden area.  We will expand this garden annually and build and arboretum and a fruitscape.

John B. Connally High School Teaching Garden

The John B. Connally High School teaching garden was founded through a grant from Whole Kids Foundation / Food Corp and Les Dames Escoffier Austin Chapter as part of the Pflugerville ISD culinary arts program at John B. Connally High School to teach students where food comes from and to explore vegetables at the peak of freshness while learning different cooking methods to use them.

Northern Valley Regional @ Demarest Organic Garden

Our high school is situated in the middle of the Northern New Jersey suburbs, far removed from the farms that used to service the New York metropolitan area.  We currently have a 2500 square foot garden that we use to grow a multitude of vegetables and flowers.  Our support staff includes one teacher of culinary arts (this writer), interested staff,  a group of 25 dedicated students, and members of the Korean Parent association.

The program was created to provide opportunities for moderate and severely students with disabilities opportunities to work and increase social interactions with general educational students.

We grow produce throughout the year and then collect donations for it when it is ready.

 

The Sylvia Center

The Sylvia Center addresses issues in children’s health by providing hands-on experiences with growing and cooking healthy food on the farm and in the kitchen. Founded in 2006 by Liz Neumark in memory of her daughter, Sylvia, the center has served thousands of children over the past five years.

Edible Alchemy Foods

 Edible Alchemy cultures a vibrant food community from the ground up. We believe that nutritious and local food is essential to healthy individuals and healthy communities.

The Giving Garden

The Prairie School's Giving Garden, created by and for the students in 2000, is located in a courtyard setting and has two separate sections. One half of the garden is a butterfly garden and was designed and planted with perennials that attract butterflies and blooms spring through fall. Annuals are added to large pots throughout the garden to help extend the bloom time. Prairie's Giving Garden has been certified as a Monarch Waystation through Monarch Watch by meeting the group's requirements of adequate milkweed, nectar, and shelter.
