Garden Classrooms

Enka Kitchen and Garden

Enka kitchen was set up in 2020 to introduce students to a multidisciplinary class where food is used as a lens and an invitation to read the world around them. We want to creatively develop skills and knowledge required to improve or strengthen healthy eating habits. Running parallel with our Enka garden, set up a few years ago, students are provided with interactive learning opportunities and experiences that have food at its center.

Northshore Middle School

Connect students to the earth through growing food and cooking with it in our Foods and Nutrition Lab.

The Edible Schoolyard Southampton

The Edible Schoolyard is dedicated to connecting young people with food, nature and each other. Through hands-on educational experiences, participants journey from ‘farm to fork’, developing new skills and behaviours that transform our relationship to what’s on our plate. Fun weekly sessions include composting, growing, harvesting, crafting, processing, cooking, talking and eating together. Each programme will culminate in children hosting their own supper club for their families – transforming the farm into a pop-up restaurant for the evening!
