Stehlik Intermediate School

This garden grant will teach the special needs students at Stehlik Intermediate, that there are cycles to everyday living. With the funds we receive, we will buy the supplies needed to start our garden as well as supplemental teaching materials to further educate the students in horticulture. The garden will also help students learn about the food chain, photosynthesis and the environment, in addition to teaching them about empathy for living things.

Albuquerque Academy

We have a small greenhouse and garden plot that students help maintain. Our goal is to expand to grow food for the dining hall and to sell at the weekly farmers market on campus. We have been working to convince the dining halls to use our local, healthy food--higher yield would increase our ability to do this.

Yonkers Public School 29

My goal as parent is to give our children the experience to grow a garden as a group. It will enable our students to grow as individuals and establish better eating habits. Overweight and bad eating habits is an epidemic, children do not realize where healthy food comes from.

Xavier Elementary

Our garden goal is to educate students about healthy lifestyle choices and encourage them to make healthier choices in their everyday lives. Various garden produce gives students an opportunity to taste a wider variety of fruits and vegetables. The garden will also enable us to teach environmental awareness and sustainability practices through hands-on activities. This grant will help us maintain the garden by funding the creation of an efficient watering system.

Winchester School

Our goal is to utilize our existing garden plot and greenfouse to grow more food. We would do this by utilizing grant funds to better cultivate our garden space; do secondary plantings once an initial planting has been harvested; manage our school compost area to provide compost for the garden and for the community; and use our greenhouse fall, winter and spring. Producing more food would mean that more students could sample items grown here by themselves or their schoolmates.

This garden will be a teaching tool for our students and the community. Food security is a hot topic in our region, and this garden will be the focal point for education on food production. 2013 will be our second year in production, and we will continue providing excess food to the local food bank. Our school is developing a stronger natural resources program, and many teachers have asked for a practical "lab" with which they can demonstrate many key concepts of the sciences.

Tulsa Met High School

The goal of the Tulsa Met Community Garden is to make fresh produce readily accessible to Tulsa Met Junior High and High School students and community members. In addition, the garden must be a site of real-world, project-based learning where students can design and complete projects with authentic and meaningful results. With the funds from the grant, TMCG will have access to a larger variety of seeds and plant types that grow well in our climate. This will ensure a continuous harvest.

The Williams School

The goal of our vegetable garden is to continue to provide for the needs of our youth and staff by planting, growing and harvesting a wide variety of healthy and nutritional vegetables.

It is out hope that with the continued support of our community, especially Chick-fil-A Clinton, MS and this grant, we will be able to continue to grow our garden and even supply our area food pantry with seasonally fresh vegetables year round.
