Cliff Valley School

 The Outdoor Classroom is a hallmark of Cliff Valley School – and a trendsetter in Atlanta education. Every classroom has its own dedicated outdoor learning space for planting and exploration. Our building was constructed with a custom-designed, open-air, environmental education classroom for teaching, learning – and getting dirty. Led by an environmental education specialist, the program integrates cross-curricular learning with involvement in conservation issues and seed-to-table practices.

The Center for Agriscience Education

In the fall of 2013, Liberty Elementary School is introducing their new program, The Center for Agriscience Education. The school is dedicated to providing quality education to all students in the diverse community. The program’s integration will increase critical thinking and hands on experiences for all K-8 students focusing on Agriculture and Science.  This innovative school will include a community garden with dedicated space for each grade level. Each grade level will be responsible for a 6 by 24 square foot raised bed.

Lowell School Learning Garden

 With support from the Watertown Community Foundation and Outdoor Nation, two fenced-in raised beds were installed by volunteers to create an outdoor classroom for 400 students, preK-5th grade. Students planted vegetables and herbs in the spring, and families tended the lush organic gardens during the summer. The summer harvest of eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes will be processed and stored for a fall pizza party for participating students. A fall harvest potluck will celebrate both the gardeners and the garden.

Slide Ranch

Slide Ranch Mission
The mission of Slide Ranch is to connect children to nature. Slide Ranch teaches visitors the impact our choices have on food, health, and the environment, through hands-on activities and independent exploration of our farm and coastal wild lands.

Every bite of food connects us to the soil, sun, water, and air, and to the people who work to feed us. Slide Ranch teaches respect and responsibility for sustaining these connections.

Create Common Good

 Create Common Good uses food to change lives and build healthy communities. Our vision is a healthy community where people have access to empowerment, employment, self-sufficiency and access to healthy food. We use access to healthy food to positively change people's lives by harnessing the community's resources to build lasting systems that provide employment and self-sufficiency. Our training programs all prepare at-risk, underserved populations to find, perform, and retain work with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency in our community.
