Academic Classrooms

Washington Elementary School

Grantsdale School is a small, four-classroom schoolhouse located in an agricultural area in the Bitterroot Valley outside the city of Hamilton, Montana. Our historical roots are tied to the land, with many farms still in operation. This connection to nature is what we hope to perpetuate by teaching our children the value of making healthy soil, growing organic food, preparing it, eating it and sharing it with our community. Our garden currently has four raised beds, one bed in the ground for flowers to attract beneficial insects, an apple tree and three raised beds made from large tires.

Classroom in Bloom

Classroom in Bloom's mission is to deepen the connection between people and the land through school and community gardening. 

Rio Mesa High School

The goal of the Student Garden at Rio Mesa High School is to become a resource designed to teach students with disabilities about sources of healthy foods and the dietary choices that lead to better health, as well as building a foundation for a student-run business. The business will directly benefit students by affording them activities in the community that will increase their access to the curriculum..

Mill Road Intermediate School

The Mill Road Garden Program seeks to create a sense of place and stewardship for our students through hands-on, experiential learning in our indoor and outdoor classrooms.

Beth Ramacher Educational Complex

The goal of our school garden is to expose our students to new adventures and new experiences. Our students have severe disabilities and some of the students are medically fragile. They do not get to experience gardens; for some they do not get to experience real fruits and vegetables. This grant will allow us to present new and exciting opportunities for our students. When they are outside our students are smiling and enjoying themselves soaking up the sun. The students love getting their hands dirty and watching the plants grow big and strong.

St. Stephen's Academy at Glade Run Lutheran Services

Glade Run Gardens serves as a therapeutic, vocational, and educational program for children throughout Western Pennsylvania. Students at St. Stephen's, Glade Run's private licensed school, participate in horticulture programming as part of their curriculum, learning about plants and the natural environment and developing a love of nature. For children in residential treatment at Glade Run for emotional health issues, the gardens serve still other purposes: horticulture therapy and a vocational program.

Commodore Options School - Odyssey Multiage Program

The elementary/middle school program within Commodore Options School--the multiage, alternative, choice school in Bainbridge Island School District--Odyssey 1-6 gave up a chunk of playground to create a garden space that now includes rich soil, a greenhouse, a shed, fruit, vegetables, flowers, herbs, and a brand new orchard. We developed a school garden to raise student awareness of where food comes from, how enjoyable it is to grow, and how fun and nutritious it is to eat.
