Fresh Roots

Fresh Roots envisions a world where everyone has access to healthy food, land, and community. We cultivate engaging gardens and programs that catalyze healthy eating, ecological stewardship, and community celebration. Fresh Roots enact our mission through Schoolyard Market Gardens, educational farms where the food we grow is sold into the school community: into the cafeteria, food access programs, and to our neighbours.

Cape Fear Farmacy

Vision: To create and sustain a community garden for the production of food for those hungry in body and a place of beauty for those hungry in spirit. The community gardens are an avenue for sharing gardening knowledge, promoting self-sufficiency, providing healthy and productive activities for our youth and fostering a greater sense of community in Wilmington and surrounding areas. Partnership with local businesses and nonprofit organizations will ensure growth and continuity of the gardens.

Willow Glen High School Gardens and Outdoor Learning Domains

This program and the gardens it creates are the realization of a long held dream, a vision of a wondrous place that will both inspire and enlighten all who enter it.

The WGHS Gardens and Outdoor Learning Domains serve as outdoor workspaces for teachers and students of all disciplines to explore the countless connections and interactions between various components of our environment.

Annandale Edible Garden

Our primary goal is to grow edible plants that can be used by our Culinary Arts students. The school has an active and popular culinary arts program that provides hands-on experience for students who want to learn skills needed for careers in the food service industry. The garden will enhance learning by providing them with the opportunity to tie their experiences growing plants to their studies. Our school is highly diverse and has a range of students from all parts of the globe and at all levels of ability.

Roosevelt's Grilling Garden

We are teaching special education students how to grow and prepare their own vegetables at home for a healthier lifestyle. We have incorporated live-fire grilling as our main preparation method.

Grow It Green Morristown

The Urban Farm is New Jersey’s largest school garden. The farm is located at the Morris School District’s Lafayette Learning Center. Throughout the growing season, the Urban Farm serves the community by:

  • Providing educational opportunites for the 5,200 school children of the Morris School District, as well as area colleges and our local community members

  • Creating opportunities for children and adults to experience local, chemical-free food

Garden Growers Group

The Garden Growers Group is an important part of the GSB Community Garden. A Garden Grower is a member of the GSB Community that is helping the garden to grow by sharing time to help with the garden. This may include planting, weeding, and harvesting. There are also tasks that do not require getting dirty hands in the garden.  This includes sorting and saving seeds, planning summer plantings, updating our log books, and keeping the GSB Community updated about what is happening in the garden.  Garden Growers will be able to share in the harvest by sharing their time to help the garden. 

Le Jardin Academy

Piko, in Hawaiian, is the navel or place for being. Our learning garden, Piko, is the inspiration for our ‘place’ for being. Situated in the center of the lower-school classrooms, it is a gathering place, educational center, and our connection to the earth. It is our hands-on tool for exploring many of our inquiry units, part of our International Baccalaureate programs. When a local farmer said that our garden wouldn’t grow anything, we didn’t throw down the shovel; we dug in. We attended workshops. We created a round layered garden.

York Community High School

The goal of our garden is to improve the visual appeal of the school’s courtyard and promote student interest in growing and consuming fresh, school-grown, organic foods. A school garden introduces students to vegetables that they normally would not consume. Food harvested from our garden will be given to the school’s food service for incorporating into the menu at the student cafeteria. Summer foods harvested will be donated to the food pantry of York Presbyterian Church in Elmhurst.

Brady High School

Our program is called “From Tower to Tray” or more commonly known as Seed to Feed. We started a school garden last year in an abandoned greenhouse located at our High School. With a little TLC and the awesome support of our AG students and our maintenance crew the greenhouse was made useable to us for our Tower Gardens. I decided to use the Aeroponic vertical gardening system because it allowed our garden to be mobile to display in cafeterias, take to classrooms or at family event nights.
