Hinton Elementary School

The grant will provide an opportunity for parents and students in our community to plant and grow many fruits and vegetables they need to sustain a healthy lifestyle. Students will use their math and science skills to build and configure the size and shape of the garden bed , while enhancing their knowledge and gardening skills . They will learn how each garden tool is used. They will also learn about cell structure and parts a of plant.

West Somerville Neighborhood School

This garden will raise awareness that even small plots of land in a densely populated area such as Somerville can be used to create community and to make the world a bit brighter and more beautiful. A city can feel impersonal, but a garden makes people stop and look. It makes people more connected to where they live and ultimately more invested in it.

Greenwood Friends School

The Food Forest Classroom (FFC) project was started as a way to create a sustainable outdoor environment that engages students and the wider school community in creating beautiful outdoor spaces that respect the local environment, model stewardship, and sustain the community by providing food for the body and simple work with the earth that nurtures the spirit. Fostering a Food Forest Classroom on our school grounds will establish a permanent and sustainable model for how people can work with nature and design productive garden spaces using nature as a model, also known as permaculture.

Barnes County North

Our goal is to integrate our garden into all facets of the school curriculum, and across all grades PK-12. We plan for each classroom and discipline to be actively involved in this project.

Crazy Horse School

What we would like to create is a project that will help educate our youth about healthy eating habits, as well as instill and validate Lakota cultural values. One of the main goals for our garden is to provide an alternative food source for our community as a whole. Through distributing fresh fruit and vegetables to families in our community, we hope to increase the opportunities for healthy, well-balanced meals for young and old people alike.

Bache-Martin

The goal of our garden is to provide an area for active, hands on, real world learning, as well as a place for quiet reflection. Our garden will serve/ serves as a green oasis in the middle of all the concrete of our urban neighborhood.
