Environmental Sciences Magnet at Mary Hooker

At the Environmental Sciences Magnet School at Mary Hooker we aim to enhance students learning and nutrition through gardening. As a preK through 8 school, we hope to see our students grow up in the garden and develop a sense of ownership of this environment. We will always ensure that the garden is a safe and pleasant space for students, families, staff and neighbors to interact in ways that they might not inside the school building.

Doudna Elementary

A school garden is a natural extension of the classroom experience that will enrich all subject areas. It is a positive learning environment where children will have the opportunity to nurture and care for seedlings and plants. A garden teaches cooperation, patience, responsibility, and increases self-esteem while connecting students with natural surroundings. A school garden promotes the development of the whole child by encouraging a child-centered learning atmosphere.

Vass-Lakeview Elementary

The goal of our school garden is to get more students engaged in the hands-on activity associated with a garden as well as the learning opportunities presented by the garden. We would like to use the garden as a foundation for students to get interested in weather patterns, soil and water conservation, scientific observation, data gathering and graphing/reporting and ecology in general.

Charles Ellis Montessori Academy

Our goal is to increase knowledge of whole foods for as many people as possible through our school gardens. We believe that providing this knowledge could lead to life-altering changes throughout the separate communities that make up Savannah. A vibrant school garden would allow us to introduce children to fresh produce that they may not have seen before, as well as teach them how to grow that produce in the urban setting in which they live. It would open the door to conversations about health.

Parish Episcopal School

The garden will become a community focal point, uniting parent volunteers, teachers, and students in tending to a living space together. At Parish, the Beasley STEM Center and Fleeger Family Learning Kitchen already set Parish apart nationally as a school with designated space to promote hands-on learning which equips students with the enduring skills as thinkers, collaborators, creators and communicators which they will need in order to be life-ready in a rapidly changing world. We know the addition of our outdoor garden will further enrich the learning experiences afforded our students.

Elbridge Gale Elementary School

After a hugely successful Gators Going Green Phase 1 Garden Event on Green Apple Day, we are planning our phase 2 projects. With the Whole Kids Foundation funding, we will add 5 floating hydroponic gardens, 10 Verti-Gro hydroponic units, create/enhance native butterfly gardens, and plant native fruit/shade trees. These gardens, trees and plants will be enjoyed by all students, teachers and community members. We want to ensure that our courtyard garden areas are utilized to their maximum potential.

Fellowship Christian Academy

We are a 100 percent minority school in an urban area. We have a small patch of land near our school that is suitable for a garden. We want to raise crops to contribute to the local food pantry and also to introduce our students and their parents to whole and fresh foods and whole and fresh food preparation. We will utilize part of our harvest for education and part of our harvest to contribute to the food pantry.
