Upper Elementary

Palm Harbor Montessori Academy

The Whole Kids grant will provide funds to add an irrigation system and some additional Earthboxes and seedlings for our current garden project. We have teamed up with Home Depot and People Educating People Inc. to expand our garden program which includes hydroponic and plantar box gardens. With the addition of these materials, each class will have garden access right outside of their classrooms with the aide of an irrigation system to help keep gardens watered at the optimal times (in the morning and evening hours).

The Garden at AT&T Park

Located behind centerfield wall, just under the scoreboard, there’s a 4,320-square-foot edible garden that offers a bounty of fruits, vegetables, greens, and flowers. All year long, chefs harvest whatever’s ripe: blueberries, strawberries, avocados, tomatoes, peppers, squash, lettuces, lemons, kale and more are picked fresh and served in the healthy menu offerings of the two Bon Appétit bistros located inside the garden, Hearth Table and Garden Table.

Edible Olympic

Olympic Elementary serves one of the most socioeconomically challenged populations of Cowlitz County which itself ranks at or near the the bottom of almost every demographic measure of health, education, drug use and income in the state of Washington. Healthy eating is difficult for Olympic students and their families due to lack of ingredients, money, skill and time.

Ocean Knoll Elementary

The Sage Garden Project at Ocean Knoll Elementary has been conducting gardening and nutritional science classes each week for every Kindergarten through 6th grade student in the school since 2011. We conduct 24 classes a week for 29 weeks in the academic year. We also run several afterschool programs, free of charge, centered around gardening, cooking and healthy lifestyles. The goal of the program is to reduce the incidence of diabetes.

North Shore Community School

North Shore Community School excels in connecting our students’ academics and learning with their natural and social environments in a nurturing community setting. We use the environment as an integrating context for learning in all subject areas. With forty acres, a school forest, a new greenhouse and a nature trail, ample opportunity exists to explore and create hands on learning experiences in the natural environment. Teachers use guided inquiry to capitalize on students interests and engage learners in meaningful encounters.

Rapoport Academy

All of the plants in this school garden are grown so that the fruits and vegetables can be harvested for the schools cafeteria. The garden coordinator, Jill Barrow, is interested in expanding the garden in order to be more self-sustaining. There is an exceptional set up at the school right now, and the students are involved in the garden once a week as part of their curriculum during the school day. The reason for the involvement of a Food Systems Intern from World Hunger Relief, Inc.

J.H. Hines Elementary

J. H. Hines School Garden is a partnership between World Hunger Relief, Inc. and J. H. Hines Elementary to bring fresh vegetables and garden education to East Waco.

Students will learn this by helping to plant, maintain and harvest vegetables in the garden alongside WHRI interns, AmeriCorps members, and teachers from JH Hines.
