The Classroom Victory Garden Project

The goal of The Classroom Victory Garden Project is to teach elementary students about the role of community in WWII through interdisciplinary curriculum designed to connect the past and the present. Millions of Americans grew Victory Gardens in their backyards - and on rooftops and in windowboxes - during WWII to supplement their wartime rations and help spur victory. That can-do spirit can offer your young students an age-appropriate entree into the lessons and history of WWII.

 

Williams School and Community Garden Project

 We are a small permaculture based school and community garden in Austin, TX dedicated to providing easily accessible fresh, organic food to our children in school and the community. In addition we strive to promote ecological and bioregional education and awareness as well as bring together our community and establish a cohesive and vibrant local food economy and good will.

Eat Real!

The World of Real Food: Combining organic gardening, traditional milk goats, and ancient wild foods, the "Eat Real!" program will give campers a dynamic hands-on and in-mouth understanding of where food comes from. With working examples of the three historical food systems - foraging, gardening, and animal husbandry, campers will explore the bustling world of food!

Berkeley Public Schools

The Berkeley Public School Gardening and Cooking Program engages students with hands-on instruction in the garden.

New City School Urban Farm

New City Public School Urban Farm was established in June 2010, in Long Beach Ca. The abandoned lot, formerly a 1920's ostrich farm and then a series of parking lots, was cleared, leveled, and shoveled into it's current bed & orchard design by school and community members. The Port of Long Beach donated three large container bins (we painted them a bright "barn" orange!) to serve as a tool shed, a future office and farm stand. A nominal lease from the City of Long Beach sealed the deal and New City Urban Farm was born.
 

SONMAT GREEN THUMBS GARDEN Ministry

We have fruitful fields, garden towers and raised bed edibles at our school. We meet weekly to nurture and grow our garden.

Global Garden at the Avalon Elementary School, Naples, Florida

A group of dedicated people had a vision to create a space for children to learn about gardening, ecosystems and nature. This idea took many years of planning, community involvement, and good old fashioned hard work. When the vision was realized the Global Garden came to life . The garden was dedicated to the students and staff of Avalon Elementary School in early May of 1998. Since then the garden has been a living, breathing, outdoor educational experience for all to enjoy.

Griggs Growing up Green

 I teach 4th grade and am the green team sponsor at our school. We do a lot of recycling, and planting around school. We would like to plant vegetable gardens around school for the students to experience growing their own produce. It would be great to send some home for the students that need groceries. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you,
