Montecito Union Garden Club

The purpose of the Montecito Union Garden Club is to teach our children stewardship of the land, the value of growing their own food and the importance of organic agriculture for our health and the health of our planet.  The students will learn where their food comes from and have the opportunity to grow and harvest a variety of fruits and vegetables.

FoodCycle

The Foodcycle Project (Alimentociclo in portuguese) is a street food cart adapted to store and manage educative kits and tools. The education activities approach differents subjects around food adopting a sistemic way of understanding.

We act offerring courses, workshops and activities for schoolar groups (from kindergarten to high school), for community and productive groups in rural and traditional localities, and also for groups of lunch maids, parents and teachers. Yet, we offer activities in open space public events such as gastronomic feasts and farmers markets. 

GrowWELL

GrowWELL is an initiative of Chicago Public Schools that supports school gardens to maintain and integrate outdoor and edible education into every grade level, subject area, and school dining center. 

Silver State Charter Gardens

Silver State Charter Gardens is a garden program that has just begun to 'bud' at the Silver State Charter School. We are based out of Carson City, but serve a population of middle and high school students that live across rural Northern Nevada.  In partnership with the Whole Kids Foundation, our program was piloted this year (2015) at the Middle School.  We use project-based learning to guide our kids as they create their soil, choose their seeds, design their greenhouses, grow their crops, and enjoy their harvest.  

Belmont Day School Garden

The school garden serves three goals for our school community. First, it is a good source for our lunch program. The kitchen staff serves healthy foods, often locally sourced and from our own garden. Another goal is to use the garden as an outdoor classroom, a way to connect to curriculum across many age groups and disciplines, a place to guide students in community service, environmental stewardship, and food justice issues. A third goal is to grow vegetables to use for our school outreach efforts.

Food for Thought - St. Stephen's School Rome

Food for Thought was born out of the shared aspiration to nourish our students with wholesome and honest food, which informs the choices they make for the health of humans and the environment. Through an interdisciplinary approach our mission is to:

Create and sustain an on-campus edible organic garden that is fully integrated into the curriculum and culture of the school

Nourish our community with healthy, nutritious meals inspired by our garden, Roman culinary traditions and locally sourced food

Seeds of Living Education

Seeds of Living Education ( SOLE ) is a terrific organization building school based children's community gardens and sharing garden education with children and families throughout our community. SOLE not only gets lots of children into the gardens, shares healthy tastings, encourages the building of more gardens, offers community events that support happy and healthy families, advocates for healthy food choices in our school cafeterias and shares the giving garden with teachers and classrooms, we share this beautiful garden with the entire community!

Positively Food: Shanahan Middle School Green Project

Shanahan Middle School, in the heart of Ohio, is the setting for raised garden beds, an outdoor classroom, and a sizable greenhouse. On two separate occssions, I have planned and implemented two school-wide wellness initiatives. The focus of the wellness initiatives have been to empower students to choose real food over processed foods through garden-based learning. Each month, during a specified time, every student was engaged in identifying the ingredients in processed foods and the possible harmful health effects of artificial ingredients, colorings, and perservatives.
