High School

Grayson County High School

The goal of the garden project is to not only connect our students with real life hands-on learning, but also to provide our cafeteria and community with fresh vegetables grown by our own students. Our goal is to use the garden as a classroom where students can connect to real world learning and reap the benefits of hard work and cooperation. We hope that the garden will integrate with other subjects taught at our school such as Math, Science, English, and Art and that students will gain knowledge that will not only help them academically but in life in general.

Prodigy Leadersip Academy

The five primary goals for our garden project are:

1. To teach essential life skills and support academic learning through the planning, planting, harvesting, preparation and cooking of the fruits and vegetables from our garden plot. We know that children learn more through active involvement in the learning process.

2. Create a school wide project that involves children ages kindergarten through 12th grade, teachers, parents, and community volunteers.

Anderson Valley Jr/Sr High School

The Anderson Valley Jr/Sr High School Garden provides an excellent opportunity for students and faculty to participate in agriculture and healthy school environments. The garden is nestled within a 7 acre active school farm which produces eggs and livestock for the surrounding community of Boonville, California.

Federal Hill House Association

As a community wide school we have set many goals for our garden. We hope to continue to involve as many community members, parents, teachers and students as we have had in the past to help bring our garden to life. This grant would give us the wonderful opportunity to purchase tools, materials, seeds, dirt, nets etc that will enhance the experience of not only planting and growing in our garden but also of having the children experience what it's like to hold a shovel, to hold a plant bulb and to wear garden gloves to name just a few!

Florida Autism Charter School of Excellence

The FACE's community garden allows students with autism to take responsibility for caring for a garden every day. We envision an outdoor classroom where academic skills such as math, science, nutrition, language arts and social studies concepts are taught. Additionally, the hands on sensory impact of working in the garden is very therapeutic to many children with autism. Others benefit from improved social skills due to the partnership with students at Tampa's Learning Gate Community School, whose students work inclusively along side our students with autism.

Del Valle High School

Del Valle High School is a Title I Public School, which is located in a food desert. Students and their families have limited access to fresh foods, and a majority of our student body qualifies for free and reduced lunch. The Cardinal Garden will be one small, but solid, step towards awareness of organic, sustainable gardening in Central Texas. The garden will bring several student groups together with a common interest and purpose. The DVHS SHOC (Students Helping Our Community) Club will build and help maintain the garden.

Charter School for Applied Technologies

The primary goal of CSAT's Greenhouse Education Garden is to engage students in real-world, greenhouse-based agricultural management, in alignment with best educational practices and New York State Learning Standards.

The Community School

Our goal is to develop soil research plots so students can experience hands-on science in the garden. Our school was established on an old farm, where the topsoil had been sold by the previous farmers. Last year students tested the soil in the area where we plan to establish the study plots and found absolutely zero nitrates, phosphates, and the texture of the soil was pure sand.

Classroom in Bloom

Classroom in Bloom's mission is to deepen the connection between people and the land through school and community gardening.
