Food Revolution Seed2Plate Afterschool Program

On March 7th, 2016, we introduce and implement our Seed2Plate initiative at Red Bay Primary with 30 students as a pilot program.

In our weekly class we will tend to the garden and learn about elements like composting, weeding, greenhouses, critters, installing vertical growing units, soil viability and how to grow foods that can thrive in our tropical environment.

Garden Grove Unified Strawberry Festival Gardening program

We have not started a program, but it's my heart's desire to start a gardening program in my district.

Jose Barrios Elementary Outdoor Classroom

The state of New Mexico is often a topic of conversation when describing poor states in America. New Mexico has one of the highest teen birth rates and child poverty percentages. These issues affect New Mexico as a whole, but in Silver City New Mexico the conversation is a little different. Often, not only does Silver City, which is a small town five hours south of Albuquerque, have to deal with state issues; the town as well has to cope with the lack of resources, lack of jobs, and a loss of land due to government policies and gentrification.
