Middle School

Montessori School of Lake Forest

Through growing, processing, cooking, eating, studying, talking and thinking about food, students develop skills, knowledge and behavior that enrich their academic and nonacademic lives, bolster their growth as individuals and in relationships, and cultivate meaningful engagements with their own health, the health of their communities and health of the planet.

Enka Kitchen and Garden

Enka kitchen was set up in 2020 to introduce students to a multidisciplinary class where food is used as a lens and an invitation to read the world around them. We want to creatively develop skills and knowledge required to improve or strengthen healthy eating habits. Running parallel with our Enka garden, set up a few years ago, students are provided with interactive learning opportunities and experiences that have food at its center.

Northshore Middle School

Connect students to the earth through growing food and cooking with it in our Foods and Nutrition Lab.

The Edible Schoolyard Southampton

The Edible Schoolyard is dedicated to connecting young people with food, nature and each other. Through hands-on educational experiences, participants journey from ‘farm to fork’, developing new skills and behaviours that transform our relationship to what’s on our plate. Fun weekly sessions include composting, growing, harvesting, crafting, processing, cooking, talking and eating together. Each programme will culminate in children hosting their own supper club for their families – transforming the farm into a pop-up restaurant for the evening!

Saint Philip Neri School

Through the Garden Science Enrichment program, the students (Preschool-5th grade) have an opportunity to learn about growing food and environmentally sustainable practices. The future of the Garden Science program includes an integration of cross-curricular and hands-on learning experiences with classroom academics and development of social-emotional regulation through nature and community service.

The Growing Life Garden Project

The growing life garden project currently encompasses 2 counties in Southern Colorado. We currently have 17 different garden sites along with over 500 participants. We are built on the foundation to help teach a life skill to urban undeserved youth along with helping families overcome food insecurities.

Geitmyra matkultursenter for barn / Geitmyra food culture centre for kids

Our vision is to teach as many kids and youths as possible about great tasting food that is good for them and for the environment.

We have school classes visiting us every day of the school year. We have garden classroom and three kitchen classrooms, and our location is an old farm - situated in the middle of Oslo.

We also have food courses for families, for junior chefs and for the brand new parents wanting to learn how to make healthy, nourishing, safe and tasty food to their babies.

Darnall Charter School Garden

The desire to start a school garden came from the creation of a Sustainability Club (now known as the Darnall Earth Saver’s Club) two years ago. A group of 45 students in grades 2-6 come together Fridays after school to decide on ways that we, as a school community, can help and conserve our environment. Creating a new school garden was at the top of their list and is now a reality. We spend our Friday afternoons planting, fertilizing, weeding, harvesting, collecting seeds, and preparing our garden beds for the next planting season.

Let Us Learn

Let Us Learn is a volunteer-run organization focused on educating and sharing with the community. We have a particular focus on garden-to-table nutrition. Most of our classes are in Title 1 schools in our county.

Our mission: to develop a community where individuals such as chefs, artisans, and mentors share their skills with at-risk youth, and to inspire others to do the same.

Our Vision: to build community through shared skills.

Chester County Food Bank

Chester County Food Bank mobilizes the community to ensure access to real, healthy food. The Raised Bed Garden Program increases availability of fresh produce for households at risk of food insecurity by supporting garden installations at partner organizations, providing community education on growing your own food, and by fostering community around food and gardening. Partner gardens are located throughout Chester County at schools, food cupboards, and social service agencies. In 2019 we distributed 46,672 seedlings to partner gardens who collectively grew 34,676 pounds of produce.
