Lower Elementary

The Growing Home and Learning Center

The Growing Home is an urban farm, educational center, and edible landscape company located in Diamond Bar, CA (near LA). Since 2008, we have grown thousands of pounds of fruits, vegetables, and herbs on our 5000 sq ft of land, feeding our family and our local community. We believe that growing food makes more sense than growing grass, that it is time for our society to reconnect with the food it eats, and that the best healthcare is fresh, vibrant, organic food. We strive to educate people and help them grow their own food.

The Victory Garden at The National WWII Museum

During World War II, while war was raging, on the homefront citizens endured commodities rationing and built victory gardens. These shared sacrifices domestically contributed just as much to the war effort’s eventual success as did military triumphs abroad. Using victory gardens as a focus point, The National WWII Museum demonstrates that the lessons and examples from the World War II homefront are applicable and relevant within today’s society.
 

The Classroom Victory Garden Project

The goal of The Classroom Victory Garden Project is to teach elementary students about the role of community in WWII through interdisciplinary curriculum designed to connect the past and the present. Millions of Americans grew Victory Gardens in their backyards - and on rooftops and in windowboxes - during WWII to supplement their wartime rations and help spur victory. That can-do spirit can offer your young students an age-appropriate entree into the lessons and history of WWII.

 

Williams School and Community Garden Project

 We are a small permaculture based school and community garden in Austin, TX dedicated to providing easily accessible fresh, organic food to our children in school and the community. In addition we strive to promote ecological and bioregional education and awareness as well as bring together our community and establish a cohesive and vibrant local food economy and good will.

Eat Real!

The World of Real Food: Combining organic gardening, traditional milk goats, and ancient wild foods, the "Eat Real!" program will give campers a dynamic hands-on and in-mouth understanding of where food comes from. With working examples of the three historical food systems - foraging, gardening, and animal husbandry, campers will explore the bustling world of food!

Berkeley Public Schools

The Berkeley Public School Gardening and Cooking Program engages students with hands-on instruction in the garden.

New City School Urban Farm

New City Public School Urban Farm was established in June 2010, in Long Beach Ca. The abandoned lot, formerly a 1920's ostrich farm and then a series of parking lots, was cleared, leveled, and shoveled into it's current bed & orchard design by school and community members. The Port of Long Beach donated three large container bins (we painted them a bright "barn" orange!) to serve as a tool shed, a future office and farm stand. A nominal lease from the City of Long Beach sealed the deal and New City Urban Farm was born.
