Openlands Building School Gardens

The Carrot Academy

The Carrot Academy is an initiative to offer alternative classroom like experiences to youth at our LOVE Building facility. A traditional Academy event allows children to go out into the garden and work with plants, weed and harvest, compost and plant. They then take some of  their bounty into the kitchen, prepare their meal and sit down and talk about a topic related to their self sufficiency, self esteem and sustainable food systems. Then they wash up and put their dishes away.

Springhouse Green

 The reinvention of our food system is now part of the national dialogue with employers, employees, and communities at large looking to positively affect today’s concerns about escalating health care costs, food security and nutrition, personal and family health, community development, and “carbon footprint.” Springhouse Green offers simple solutions for greening corporate and community spaces with vegetable garden buildouts, nutrition counseling, lunch-and-learn workshops, garden maintenance services, and LEED applications.

Steele Lane Elementary School Garden

We have four goals for our garden this year; to increase student contact time, to better align the program with Common Core Standards, to increase food production and to create a stronger school community through the garden's programs.

McKinley Elementary Garden

We have a school garden with each garden bed assigned to a different class.  We teach math, science, history, nutrition, and local food systems in the garden.
