Wright Charter School Garden

The Wright Charter School Garden serves 497 students, K-8, in the beautiful Laguna de Santa Rosa of Santa Rosa CA.  Ecoliteracy is the core value of our charter and the garden program is key to achieving our goal of educating our students to be responsible citizens of Planet Earth.   94% of our student body qualifies for free or reduced luch, and many are English language learners.  The garden program serves as not only as a strong connection to nature, but also provides nutrition education to some of the most needy children in our local community.

Horta Educativa

The Educational Garden Project aims to strengthen the educational work aimed at the formation of social values, cultural and food compatible with the preservation of the country's culture, the environment and the promotion of healthy eating habits. It is an educational tool for understanding the relationship between the environment and healthy eating, linking them to health, citizenship and quality of life.

Horta Escola Lucy Montoro

Our goals are to transform children through multi-discipline garden education, allowing students to be their own teachers by promoting food education.

Horta Escola Lucy Montoro aims to be a living space for education, exercise, and care for the environment and community spirit. We grow vegetables, and plant seedlings of native tree species for landscaping and agricultural activities.

Toronto Island Natural Science School Raised Bed Food Garden

 By creating a raised bed food garden, we are helping students to dive into gardening, get dirty, and experience fresh organic, heritage produce! Students from all over Toronto come and stay at the centre for 2 1/2 days and are immersed in outdoor education. The garden is a wonderful part of this program, and eventually we hope to see it supplement our school cafeteria as well.
