Upper Elementary

Rhode Island School for the Deaf

The goal of our community garden at RISDeaf is to weave the garden into as many aspects of the school curriculum as we can. We want to continue to expand the integrated lessons and activities that teach the students about green, sustainable living in an urban setting. We want to teach both the sign language vocabulary and english print vocabulary that is connected with the garden in all subject areas.

John Adams Middle School

The goal of this garden project is to expand our existing garden space to include an orchard. The orchard would allow students to see a wider variety of produce that can be grown right here in New Mexico. They will learn that some produce, such as zucchini, tomatoes, and herbs, grow on bush like plants. They will see that other produce, such as apples, peaches, and cherries, grow on trees.

Shepherd Valley Waldorf School

Since moving to a 38-acre campus in 2001, Shepherd Valley Waldorf School has consistently incorporated gardening and exploration of nature in the curriculum of every grade, pre-K - 8th. However, two years ago the school's gardening efforts got a big boost from a new collaboration with Everybody Eats!, a local non-profit committed to expanding Boulder County's supply of organically, locally and sustainably grown produce.

Sherburne Elementary School

Our gardening project hopes to add a greenhouse, bear resistant composter, tools, hoses and additional raised garden beds to the present garden consisting of four raised beds. Our physical mission is to eventually provide our school lunch program and school community with fresh produce year around and share surplus with our students

Malcolm X

Project Outline:

Under the supervision and direction of Rivka Mason, the Malcolm X garden instructor and teacher, we propose to engage in a program to encourage children to eat nutritious vegetables that they grow themselves. In her interaction with the children at Malcolm X, Rivka has noted that children loved to eat dino kale and also sour sorrel. She found that they especially liked these vegetables insofar as they had helped to grow it in the school garden.

Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary

Our immediate goal is to enhance our currently-functional youth garden. Our garden currently has one vegetable bed available for each teacher who has requested one (8), and one community bed, which is tended to and harvested by volunteers. These beds are thriving and well-maintained, and we are ready to expand!

Sandia Prep School

This grant will provide funding for a new summer garden program, which will help to raise awareness in the community about the benefits of growing and eating locally. The class,

Spreckels Elementary

Our garden program's goal is to expand our existing growing space by utilizing a green house in conjunction with our existing garden. We currently have a small area utilized by raised planter beds and we recently planted an orchard of seven young fruit trees. If we are awarded this grant we would purchase a greenhouse and place it near the existing garden spaces. Our garden is in a mild climate zone which limits certain crops' growing seasons. Using the greenhouse will allow us to start seeds indoors and extend our growing season.
