The Giving Field on Liberty Street

 The Giving Field on Liberty Street is a donation garden with a mission of feeding the hungry fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, as well as, provide education on living a healthier and more sustainable life through the garden.  All of the harvested food goes to the area soup kitchens to feed the hungry. 

 

This one acre piece of land is located across the street from St. Anne School that teaches children from pre-k thru eighth grade. The students and parents take an active part in planting, maintaining and harvesting at The Field.

School Garden Resource Center, located at Common Ground High School, Urban Farm and Environmental Education Center

The School Garden Resource Center supports the creation and effective use of educational vegetable gardens in schools. We believe that by using our knowledge and resources to provide services and advice, training garden coordinators in schools and creating a network of educators committed to educational gardens we can help schools build, maintain and sustain thriving school garden programs.

The Children's School

The Children's School is a Toddler - 8th Grade non-profit, independent, progressive school in La Jolla, CA. Our mission is to inspire each child's unique potential and desire for life-long learning through a strong academic, social, and environmental curriculum.

As a progressive school, we believe three core tenets are vital to educating children:
Academic development and social growth must be equally supported.
Students learn best when they take an active role in their education.
Teaching children how to learn is as important as teaching them what to learn.

Vertical Tower Garden

Aeroponic Tower Garden is a vertical growing system that can be utilized by small spaces. This would allow more schools to be a part of the edible education project. Not all schools have the land necessary for traditional gardening. All children need to be infored of where real food comes from and the benefits of healthy eating. The system is easy to use and environmentally friendly. I have seen preschoolers plant and tend to the garden.
