The Growing Home and Learning Center

The Growing Home is an urban farm, educational center, and edible landscape company located in Diamond Bar, CA (near LA). Since 2008, we have grown thousands of pounds of fruits, vegetables, and herbs on our 5000 sq ft of land, feeding our family and our local community. We believe that growing food makes more sense than growing grass, that it is time for our society to reconnect with the food it eats, and that the best healthcare is fresh, vibrant, organic food. We strive to educate people and help them grow their own food.

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.

Berkeley Public Schools

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

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.

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,

Stone Valley School Garden

 The Stone Valley School Garden was started by the Science Department in Spring 2009. Since that time raised beds for edibles, California native and drought resistant plantings, an outdoor classroom area, a weather station, and a school greenhouse have been added. The environmental science class maintains and constructs new features in the garden, as well as running the school recycling and compost programs.
