Orrenmaa Elementary Edible Traditional and Aeroponic Tower Gardens

The beautiful Orrenmaa Elementary Edible Garden was created to educate our students and their families on the importance of crowding out junk food by adding in as much healthy, fresh, locally grown produce into their daily eating as possible.  The playful "If you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live?" philosophy is introduced from the beginning of the "TK" and Kindergarten students first visits to the garden.

Edible Spaces

Edible Spaces was born from a wide-eyed dream about a community of learners brought together in an environment that fosters conversation, curiosity, knowledge, and discovery.

It takes a village to raise respectable, ambitious, intelligent, generous and well-rounded children. Public school educators are a huge part of this village, who need to be nimble in providing access to these fundamentals both in a traditional classroom environment and in a more organic setting.  Having an edible schoolyard is a key variable in this equation.
