Benjamin G.Brown School

Built in 2007, the Benjamin Brown garden is in an actively used part of the school yard beneath a tree, once a sapling, that has now grown to shade much of the area. The donated materials included untreated cedar boards, which have decomposed gradually and are now falling apart. This grant will allow us to redesign the layout of the garden to accommodate the new shade areas and the active walkways, as well as replace the broken beds with long-term, sustainable alternatives.

St. Martin's Episcopal School

The goal of the St. Martin's Community Garden is to involve students in an outdoor classroom setting in order to teach them the hands-on process of sustainable agriculture. The Community Garden Program is designed to teach students about and involve them in the practice of sustainable agriculture in order for them to gain a deeper appreciation for and understanding of the vital role these processes play in our daily lives. The purpose of the GardenSoxx is to make the garden relatively maintenance free, so that the students may spend more time learning about and nurturing their plants.

North Valley Academy Charter

North Valley Academy (NVA) Charter School has a focus on health and wellness. The goals for NVA that are connected to the school gardens are to revitalize the campus gardens, use them as outdoor classrooms, sell harvested produce and flowers, and establish ourselves in the community as leaders in health and wellness. The gardens encourage and support the mission and vision of the school. Kindergarten through eight grade teachers will use the gardens to teach about plant life and the plant cycle based on the NextGen Science and New Mexico Science Standards.

Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School

Project D.I.G. is the centerpiece of the effort at Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School (CSS) to reduce the rate of childhood obesity and make students more aware of the value of good nutrition. By tending raised-bed gardens and a row garden, students learn that food doesn't grow in the grocery store and become acquainted with nutritious produce they do not often see on their plate. The experience of planting and growing, as well as tasting the fruits of their labor, make "health" and "nutrition" more than words for them.

Castle Rock Ranch Camp

Castle Rock Ranch Camp is a summer camp for kids located in the Bitterroot Mountain range in Idaho's northern panhandle.  We're a kids camp with a farm-to-table curriculum, located on a ranch with a mile of frontage on the Coeur D'Alene river.  Our mission is to cultivate an interest in ranch life, the outdoors, sustainable food, gardening and agriculture, and to disconnect from technology and reconnect with the natural world in a soul-rejuvenating, rural setting.  Kids ride horses and float down the river everyday, but also learn about ranch animal care and growing food.  The majority of o
