Promise of Peace Community Gardens

The Promise of Peace, (P.O.P.), Gardens was established in 2009 as an effort to bring diverse groups of people together on common ground while connecting to nature and learning to grow REAL food and then to celebrate the food as we shared the harvest. The mission of P.O.P. is to create equal access to nutritious food for all children and their families. We transform vacant places into thriving growing spaces where our programming changes lives one seed at a time.

Greater Atlanta Christian School Environmental Learning Center

We are a K3-12 private Christian School in the suburbs of Atlanta with ~1900 total students from 90 different zip codes. 

Local Urban Gardeners

Our mission is: To create a garden bassed community center that can serve as a place of learning, a place to grow nutritious food, to promote sustainable gardening and inspire community improvement. 

We are working to develop a community garden and learning lab at Natividad Creek Park in Salinas,CA. It has been an ongoing process since 2013. This year looks promising and if all goes well we should be able to break ground in early spring 2016!

Horicon Mindful Edible Schoolyard

Matrix of Change, a local non-profit sustainability group founded by Mary-Dee Bowers in the 1990s, has provided Horicon School with both a mindfulness program, (Goldie Hawn's MindUp Program) and a working garden with fencing, tools, garden boxes, and now a new portable green house so that each classroom has its own garden area. Horicon's dedicated administration, faculty, and staff, and a group of local volunteers help the children build and reestablish their own gardening systems each year.

Growing Oshkosh's School Garden Program

Growing Oshkosh's mission is to raise awareness and educate citizens about the numerous benefits of fresh, healthy, local and fair food (and food production) . We are working with the schools in the Winnebago County to bring edible gardens to all schools, beginning with the K-5 schools. GO helps design and build the initial raised garden beds, one for each grade K-5 for a total of six beds. At schools where the elementary and middle exist in the same building, the number of beds can be extended to incorporate the middle school grades levels.

Gloucester Preschool

Students have two complete seed-to-fork experiences every year: Fall Harvest Day and spring Salad Days. 

Center City Public Charter School

The school garden was funded and built through a partnership with The Washington Youth Garden in Northeast DC.

Kamaile Academy School Garden

The garden is a mandatory class from grades K-6. After 6th grade some High School students do participate as an extracurricular on Wednesdays.

STEM Garden

The STEM school is a unique school given its small population size and its practice of STEM education at such an early age. Because of that, the garden has become a big resource for the school. It has become a place for science experiments but also a place for students to learn about healthy foods.
