The Maine School Garden Network is a volunteer organization whose mission is to promote and facilitate educational gardens for Maine youth, grades pre-K through high school.  We meet monthly in Brunswick, Maine.  We have a website with resources for educational gardeners and a Maine school garden directory.  We hold professional development conferences for educators and engage in other activities to help get school gardens started and to publicize their benefits.

Tucson Village Farm

Tucson Village Farm (TVF) is a working urban farm by and for the youth of Tucson. TVF is a seed-to-table program designed to reconnect young people to a healthy food system, teach them how to grow and prepare fresh food and empower them to make healthy life choices. We do this through a variety of dynamic, hands-on programs targeting all age groups:
Growing Forward: K-5 agriculture and nutrition education field trip
Digging Deeper: Grades 6-12 agriculture, nutrition education and food preparation
Farm Camp: Farm immersion for youth ages 7-11

Slow Food International

 Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment.

A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.

St. Nicholas School Garden

The St. Nicholas School Garden is a place for patience, responsibility, service and learning.  We are currently growing a vegetable garden, and herb garden and we are beginning a flower garden soon.  The vegetable garden will supply the salad bar for the school cafeteria.  Our garden is integrated into science and math curriculum, as well as Language Arts, making hands-on curriculum connection for kids.

St. Nicholas believes in teaching the whole child and instilling a lifelong love of learning!

 

 

Human Health and the Organic Garden

As society advances, people have become increasingly detached from their food sources. The way modern humans live and eat is incredibly different than the way ancestral populations have dealt with food. This has led to an increased prevalence of human health diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This program strives to explore material from the Integrative Biology department at UC Berkeley to better understand the benefits plant based nutrition and medicine have on human health.

Rhode Island School for the Deaf Community Garden

 Rhode Island School for the Deaf is a small program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. We are a pre-kindergarten through high school program. We are so fortunate to have a beautiful organic garden on our property. The students designed and fabricated all 17 4 x 4 square foot gardens. The teachers use the garden for academic purposes in literacy, vocabulary development, math and science. Some students use the garden to learn how to follow directions and make healthy meals from the garden produce.
