Garden Classrooms

Istituto Comprensivo Didattico di Badolato

Orto in Condotta is the Slow Food school garden project for Italy. The program aims to promote nutrition and environmental education. We use an interdisciplinary method, based on the fundamental role that food plays in everyone’s life. For the Italian school gardens, growing a cabbage with the help of a grandpa is a way to create a new link with the older generation, improve manual abilities and social skills, and learn how to organize and care for common space.

Eco-Leaders & Dawg-Patch Gardeners

Initiated November 2013, this model food recovery effort began with a partnership agreement between the Ramona Unified School District and the County of San Diego. This program was developed in order to address college and career readiness goals aligned with 21st themes such as global awareness and environmental literacy and follows the EPA’s hierarchy of source reduction, food donation and animal feed methods.  Additionally, AB1826 compliance requirements are met for the Ramona Unified School District.

Katherine Michiels School

At KMS, we have a teaching kichen as well as a garden classroom. We encourage all teachers and students to work in the garden and use it as a form of enrichment for their regular classes. The pre-k class has the largest role in maintaing the garden with our two garden teachers. The teaching kitchen has a program that offers after school cooking classes to students at KMS and from other local schools. We use the herbs, vegetables, and flowers from our garden in cooking and for more artistic pieces.

St. James Episcopal School of Dallas

We are a Montessori School that serves children 18 months to 6 years of age. We have a hands-on Children's Garden where we grow herbs, veggies and fruit. The children also have two butterfly gardens that they can also use for their cut flower work. We have gardening classes every Friday but the children can go to the garden anytime with their teacher!

~~Sound eating habits since infancy promote optimal health, growth, intellectual and emotional development.

Healthy eating can prevent short-term medical problems like iron-deficiency anaemia, overweight, poor nourishment, eating disorders, and cavities, among others.

It can also prevent or minimize the possibility of developing long-term pathologies. Today’s main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide are cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, weight excess, and osteoporosis.
