Middle School

Summers-Knoll School

Through the gardening project, we aim to support children's learning about, and investment in, sustainable growing practices, health and nutrition, and social and environmental justice. We also strive to increase consumption of local, sustainably grown, healthy foods. A school garden will allow vast opportunities to learn experientially, collaboratively, and would support our project-based, theme-based curriculum.

Thomas Edison Charter Academy

We will use our garden to teach science, math, social studies & nutrition to grades k-8; feed our student and parent population; and make meaningful contributions to our community through food donations.

We currently lack funds to purchase soil, seeds and other supplies for our current garden. So the garden does not have a great impact on our school curriculum or student population. If we receive this grant, it would enable us to plant and harvest seasonally, enabling students throughout the grade-levels an opportunity to grow, learn from and consume their own food.

King Elementary School

The goal of the Urban Garden is educating school age youth and the production of community gardens/farmer markets in a neighborhood that is considered a food desert. This project will assist in the expansion of our existing Urban Agriculture training program to include completing a 7,500 square foot outdoor education garden to teach environmental education skills to youth from 4-6 public schools through the lens of urban gardening.

Roots & Culture

 Roots & Culture is an aspiring garden and nutrition education program serving urban youth in Oakland with a focus on food justice.  

Bee Girl's Kids and Bees Program

Kids love honey bees. It’s pretty much a fact. When I sat on the sunny deck of my aunt’s cabin eating honey comb straight from the hive as a toddler, a seed was planted that grew into an affinity for all things bees as an adult. I now travel the country and visit schools and summer programs with our observational bee hive (season and location permitting), activities, and tastes of honey for the kids. Seeing their faces light up gives me hope that I am helping to plant seeds of knowledge and fondness that may someday grow into a great beekeeper...

EduCulture

EduCulture bridges local farms, classrooms, lunchrooms and the larger food community through edible education programs that foster scholarship, stewardship, citizenship and sustainability. EduCulture is partnering schools and farms, transforming working landscapes into landscapes of learning, and utilizing our community as curriculum. Our edible education programs are serving academic needs, while growing produce for school and community food streams.

West Riverside Elementary School Community Garden

Founded in 1911, West Riverside Elementary School (WRES) is the oldest continuously operated elementary school in Florida. Our Mission at The WRES Garden, is to teach students how to grow, prepare and enjoy vegetables and fruits. This involves all aspects of farming the garden in a sustainable manner, including planning, planting, nurturing, harvesting, preparing and eating. These skills help our students connect classroom subjects to hands on activities that help to develop and nurture the whole child.

California Native Garden Foundation

The California Native Garden Foundation is a non-profit educational, research, and resource organization that promotes gardening with California native plants. We work with Elementary, Middle and High Schools to design and build gardens using our healthy land use model, using native and traditional food plants, and urban farming technologies such as food towers and aquaponics.
