Rhode Island School for the Deaf Community Garden

 Rhode Island School for the Deaf is a small program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. We are a pre-kindergarten through high school program. We are so fortunate to have a beautiful organic garden on our property. The students designed and fabricated all 17 4 x 4 square foot gardens. The teachers use the garden for academic purposes in literacy, vocabulary development, math and science. Some students use the garden to learn how to follow directions and make healthy meals from the garden produce.

Ames School Gardens Project

 

We coordinate two school garden programs in the Ames Community School District in Ames, Iowa.  Working with many community partners and volunteers, we provide hands-on garden, cooking and nutrition education programs in and out of school.  All garden projects are also community-based, and food goes to families in the wider community as well as students and their families.
