A emerging and developing partnership exists among the Pullman Public Schools, Washington State University College of Education, and the Washington State University Center for Environmental Research, Education & Outreach

Seeds of Change Organic School Garden

In our program, we adapted a program similar to Harvest of the Month. In the beginning, we chose a fruit or vegetable to feature for the month and talked with the kids about why they should eat, how it is grown, and then they got to sample it. As a Parent Wellness Committee, we were involved in writing local grants and also a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, through Whole Foods. We were so fortunate to attain both of those grants to start our school garden!

The Green Flash Garden

 The Green Flash Garden @ Muirlands Middle School is a project in the food movement. The goal is to provide the students of Muirlands Middle School the opportunity to have a hands on, edible education. Our mission is to provide an environment in which students can take an active role in learning about the process of growing food, the importance of environmentally sustainable food systems, the impact of food choices on personal health, as well as the interconnectedness of the kitchen, garden, and classroom.

D11 Good Food Project

The D11 Good Food Project brings healthy, fresh, sustainable food to 24,000 students daily across 65 serving locations through the Colorado Springs School District 11 Food & Nutrition Services department.  Last year, $750,000 was put back into the local community through purchases of grass-finished beef, milk, fresh produce, and yes, coffee for our catering department.

The Galileo Garden Project produced 1,000 lbs. of fresh produce for the D11 Good Food Project in the five beds outdoors plus garden beds in our 42' geodesic dome greenhouse between January and September 2012.
