Edible Garden Project - Fed Up

We’re bringing students from kindergarten to grade 7 out of the classroom and into the garden to learn the cycles of food production from seed to soil. Our students grow food, harvest it, prepare it, and enjoy it – they’re “Fed Up” and into previously out of reach world of nutritious fresh food.

We encompass science, art, english, maths, history, nutrition and much more in our vegetable and herb garden. Our sensory garden adds an extra element for the children. In our meditation corner we encourage peaceful minds and hearts to dwell in the garden. Here we use stories and songs to teach our students about the environment and provide a quiet reading place. 

Fish to Schools

Fish to Schools works toward a sustainable community that offers all school children the health benefits of locally-caught seafood, equips them to understand how this food source is obtained, and empowers them to one day enjoy the full cultural and economic advantages of local seafood resources. Local seafood is served in grades K-12 and is paired with a "stream to plate" curriculum that brings salmon alive in the classroom. Lessons empower students to make food choices that benefit not just their bodies but also their local communities, economies, and environment.

Garden Rules to Health

   Childhood obesity rates are out of control and its time for change? To combat childhood obesity, studies show that children who grow fruits or veggies, are more interested in eating them.  Eating more whole food and less processed foods combined with exercise is the path to better health and overall wellness.  A school garden supports that path to positive change in your community.
