Middle School

Sacramento COE Sustainable Environment Program

We are a public school program, run by Sacramento County Office of Education, serving youth with emotional and behavioral difficulties who cannot be served by their home schools/ districts.  A major part of our emphasis is to better prepare these students to move from school to the adult world.  One of our innovative programs is the "Sustainable Environments Academy", a grouping of high school students who help develop a school-based garden which supports our restaurant, our Farmer's Market, and our community service projects.

Urban Harvest Gardening Education

Urban Harvest promotes healthy communities, sound nutrition and respect for the environment by educating children and adults and facilitating harvest and habitat gardens.

 We support a network of school community gardens in the Houston area, as well as a partnering with nearly 20 schools sites to provide Garden Educators and community partnerships in Edible Education.
