Kindergarten

 Walker Jones Education Campus is a pre-K through 8th grade school, with a total of about 450 students.  Located in the heart of Washington, DC, we are home to DC's largest urban farm and our budding food lab.

We live in a rural district on the Oregon coast. We are a very small school district with our brand new garden. Our garden, which includes cold frames and raise beds will serve our 200 students K - 12. The children have a wonderful opportunity to actively get their own hands into the soil and learn where their food comes from. They learn the science behind soil testing, plant physiology and development, seed germination, and plant production. Herbs and spices grown in the garden will be used in our culinary arts projects, and shared with students and families.

We established a small victory garden 2 years ago in the backyard of the Boys & Girls Club.   Club members planted the seeds, tended the garden and when vegetables began blooming they were very excited and were able to take home 1 or 2 pieces of the vegetables.   Our problem our garden is not big enough to support the large amount of kids we serve .   Nor do the parents know how to cook and serve the vegetables we send home.especially squash.

The Eco Arts Council of the Quad Cities was created for advocacy, education, and for the promotion of Nature and natural living lifestyle; addressing environmental issues, and using Art as a gateway to draw awareness to and celebrate our place on Earth, our home, and our relationship to it.
