Upper Elementary

Kanyon Kids Garden

Our school is very remote and a 40 minute drive to a grocery store and even farther for larger shopping choices. Our school has a population of 61 students and 80% of our student body are First Nations Peoples. Living in such a remote area meant less healthy choices for students and community members so it came about that the students wanted to grow food for the lunch program but also for community members as well.

Holy Family Parish Garden

The Holy Family Parish Garden was started as a service learning project by the 2014-2015 5th grade class.  Our goal was to create a pallet style garden, easy to maintain, on an empty Parish lot across from the school, that we could grow good quality, organic vegetables to for the Parish Food Pantry during the summer, and the School during the school year when the garden was viable.  (Winter months are a little tricky in Mid-Michigan for growing much.) We began by studying and learning the basics of plant biology and growth.

The Farm at St. Joseph Mercy Health System

St. Joseph Mercy Hospital near Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti in Michigan is home to the nation's first hospital-based farm and clinical accessible hoop house.

We converted over 20 acres of lawn into arable farmland, where we grow alfalfa, fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs. We work with two production hoop houses and have a third accessible hoop house for rehabilitation therapy.

The Farm hosts a weekly farmers market in the hospital lobby, provides a CSA for staff, provides produce for patient meals and the hospital's deli, and donates produce to our local food pantry.

Captain Cooper Children's Garden

The Captain Cooper Children's garden is a beautiful garden with a view of the Big Sur valley and a peak of the Pacific Ocean. We grow a variety of plants in our garden including asparagus, lettuce, cabbage, basil, rosemary, corn, mint, squash, beans, lemons, oranges, persimmons, apples, blackberries and much much more. Students learn to propagate plants in our greenhouse. They learn to compost and ensure plants are receiving the nutrients they need.

Sweetwater Garden

      Our vision for this project is to empower sustainability in our own community through education and community involvement. During the 2015-2016 school year parents, elementary students, high school students, staff, and community members of Sweetwater Elementary shared a similiar interest towards school gardening.  We began working with a local farm, Beckman Farms.  By January, 2015 we had a  hydroponic garden on our campus which grows vegetables and herbs.
