San Domenico School Garden of Hope

 The Garden of Hope is a sacred place and learning center for San Domenico students and faculty, but has expanded to become a model for the greater community. Our sustainability program has been featured in articles in the Marin Independent Journal, Marin Magazine, Terra Magazine, Red Orbit, More Marin, and other magazines such as Fast Forward. It is known as a place to showcase how other school gardens, community organizations, and individuals can learn how to live more sustainably with the earth.

SPHS Gardens

South Philadelphia High School Gardens, or SPHS Gardens for short, are located in two formerly vacant lots on either side of the school's parking lot. A local South Philly neighborhood organization, the Lower Moyamensing Civic Association (LoMo), teamed up with South Philadelphia HS in 2012 to create a vegetable garden for students and neighbors to share. The raised bed gardens serve as an outdoor classroom for hands-on science, math, ESOL, english, culinary arts, and special education lessons.

Bloomers! Schoolyard

 Bloomers! Schoolyard is a hands-on gardening and healthy eating, 7 - 12 week program designed specifically for early learners. It comes with an entire garden, soil and all, and everything else you need to grow a little crop of vegetables. We do lettuce in the Fall, snow peas in the Spring and tomatoes in the Summer. The teacher has a harvest day and prepares the vegetables in 3 different ways so the kids learn that if they don't like one way, they may like them another way. And they always eat the vegetables!

Project EAT

Project EAT ( Educate, Act, Thrive.) serves 25,000 students directly. Initiated ten years ago at two schools in the Hayward Unified School District, Project EAT now serves 50 schools in five school districts with a yearly budget over $4 million dollars.

Jamie Oliver Food Foundation

We want to change the way people eat by educating every child about food, empowering families by arming them with the skills and knowledge to cook again, and inspiring everyone to stand up for their rights to better food; which in turn will fight the epidemic of diet-related diseases.

The Cultivated Classroom @ Gregory-Lincoln Education Center

Gregory-Lincoln is a Fine Arts Magnet prek-8th grade school located in historic Fourth Ward, in the shadow of downtown Houston. Our school community is typical of so many American schools, blessed with talented, smart kids, and struggling with childhood obesity, as well as the looming threat of Type II diabetes. Instead of sitting idly by we decided to raise our pitchforks, plates, and pencils to change how we think and consume food.
