Juan de Onate Elementary School Garden

Juan de Onate School garden is a garden set in a government subsidized housing unit on the Northside of Gallup, NM. The garden has been in existence for 5 years, but has struggled to become well established due to changing locations, vandalism, and inconsistent leadership. In the past two years the school garden has really flourished due to a few school champions and the help from FoodCorps service members. The garden now has regular visitors in the forms of whole classes, school staff, and community members.

Seeds of Change Organic School Garden

In our program, we adapted a program similar to Harvest of the Month. In the beginning, we chose a fruit or vegetable to feature for the month and talked with the kids about why they should eat, how it is grown, and then they got to sample it. As a Parent Wellness Committee, we were involved in writing local grants and also a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, through Whole Foods. We were so fortunate to attain both of those grants to start our school garden!
