High School

Woodstock Union Middle High School

This project represents the synergy between Farm to School and the Horticulture department at Woodstock Union Middle and High School. The goals of our groups are 1.) To increase local food options being served in the cafeteria 2.) To facilitate a working school garden and greenhouse 3) To build relationships between the school and the greater community 4) To integrate food education through the discipline. We currently have an operating garden and greenhouse that serve as classroom extensions for many disciplines and student groups.

Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores

The goal of our garden is to involve our students in the creation and ongoing maintenance of an edible garden. Our garden is used as an educational resource for our classrooms and lessons and curriculum are tied to the growing of vegetables, trees and plants by both the middle school and high school programs. The students will also be introduced to healthier eating options as they will be picking the produce and taking it home to prepare for their families. The grant will afford the funds to allow the purchase of additional tools and a larger safe storage place for them to be kept.

O'Connell College Preparatory School

A place to Read and Feed. The garden will consist of log planter box benches backed by trellis and placed in a circle to create an outdoor classroom. Students will to grow vegetables and herbs to feed themselves and the community. The Spanish teacher will be able to teach not vocabulary but practical language skills through gardening during his class..

University School of Milwaukee

Our School is fortunate to already have one garden thriving on our campus; this garden is used primarily by our Upper School students as an outreach project. The harvest of this garden is shared within the greater Milwaukee community in areas of need. Our Upper School students work with the Amani community, one of eight neighborhoods within four US cities receiving a BNCP grant, which seeks to catalyze community driven change in neighborhoods that have historically faced barriers to revitalization.

Orleans Parish 4-H

Orleans Parish 4-H is currently working with 5 separate schools to develop edible gardens.

Birchwood School

Our school garden is designed to help our students grow healthy food so that they can eat the fresh vegetable and herbs during lunch. Our school is a school that services the emotionally handicapped population for the Clarkstown Central School District. The students often have difficult home environments. Many do not have the means to eat a well balanced meal. The teachers in our program do not have a traditional lunch period. We eat lunch with our students. Our goal during the lunch period is to enhance nutrition.

Community Montessori

Our ultimate objective is for our garden to become self-sustaining and serve as a mainstay of our entrepreneurship, philanthropy, health and wellness, practical life, science, and history curriculum. In the short term, our goal for this year is to build a durable shed that will protect our tools from weathering, expand our blueberry crop, amend the soil for our five raised beds (4’x20’), purchase new seeds and plants, purchase new and replace old tools, purchase new herb seeds and plants for our herb garden, and create a butterfly garden.

Ramsey High School

My goals for introducing this garden into the school courtyard are:
*I want to offer a farm-to-table opportunity for my Culinary Arts classes. The newly renovated, state-of-the-art kitchen/classroom has access to the courtyard where the garden would be planted. My Culinary Arts students, as well as students from the Environmental Club, would design and maintain the garden with the goal of offering home-grown meals to staff and students throughout the school year.

Newton North High School

Our garden is a multi-phased plan that offers opportunities for students to design sustainable gardens, care for and harvest crops, and gain an appreciation for agricultural time, which is unique in our fast-paced world. The garden spans several school programs, including Drafting, Art, Biology, English Language Learning (ELL), and the Culinary Arts. Funding allows us to add a greenhouse seed starter program, trellis, frame boxes for year-round gardens, and dwarf orchard to the existing cold frame herb boxes and tire planters for potatoes.

Pine River-Backus Area Learning Center

We hope to add season extension and growing capacity to the Pine River-Backus (PRB) Community Garden in order to offer greater hands-on learning for students participating in the Food-Youth-Business (FYB) course while generating food that they may choose how to utilize (prepare and eat, sell, give to school kitchen, etc).
