Hamilton Central School's Seed To Table Program

Our raised garden bed "seed to table" program began in 2011.  We currently have five 12' x 4' raised garden beds in use.  We also have a small pumpkin patch, as well as several composting bins used for replacement soil within our raised beds.  

Our school also has a greenhouse, where many of the plants that are planted in our raised beds are started and cared for by students, until the weather is optimum to plant outside.  

Enivornment Community Opportunity Charter School

The Environment Community Opportunity (ECO) Charter School seeks to empower students to become adept learners, community leaders and environmental stewards. We seek support to further develop our school garden in an effort to fulfill our mission. When we envisioned a garden, we wanted to create an outdoor sanctuary where students would feel safe and become inspired by planting, growing and maintaining a variety of fruits, vegetables and flowers.

Tierra Pacifica Charter School

Tierra Pacifica Charter School, formed in 1998, is a collaborative effort among parents, teachers and community members committed to the development of the whole child. Through the establishment of a charter school, we believe we can work within the school system to create an innovative alternative model to traditional public elementary schools.

Tierra Pacifica educates children from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is designed for families who want to take an active role in the education of their children, both in and out of the classroom.

FoodCorps Hawaii

The Kohala Center is an independent, not-for-profit, community-based center for research, conservation, and education. By focusing on the needs of island residents and the research interests of our university and agency partners, three core areas of work have emerged: energy self-reliance, food self-reliance, and ecosystem health. Through these partnerships and by recognizing that we work in a model environment, we help communities on the island, in the Pacific, and around the world thrive—ecologically, economically, culturally, and socially.

Woodstock Elementary School

The goals of our garden are to provide gardening education to our students and community, provide fresh food for our school lunch program, and enhance our nutrition education program.

Whittier Elementary School

The goal of the garden project is to transform a wasted courtyard space into a vegetable garden and native plant nursery for curriculum-based education and extracurricular enrichment. In addition to hands-on gardening skills, nutrition and sustainability, students will learn the importance of native-habitat restoration, ecology and resource management. The garden will allow produce to be donated to the Peoples Resource Center (PRC), a local organization that provides food to low-income families in our community.
