Green Scene Chicago

With Green Scene Chicago programming I teach students how to plant and tend vegetable beds that, upon fruition, host two kinds of production: crops and theater. I recruit youth and elders to grow food and unearth their artistic impulses through writing, story telling, theater, music and dance. While exploring healthy earth practices, healthy eating, and healthy self-expression in the garden, these teams create performances to share with their community.

    Here at Carrabec High in rural North Anson , Maine, AmeriCorps is working to establish a healthy relationship between students, food and the land.  We understand that the opportunity that working with fresh and healthy produce in an environment of hard work and holistic living can provide a great space for community building.

LILA School Garden

Our school garden is part of a community garden located on school property. It is an in-ground vegetable garden with an automatic watering system. It measures 38X14 square feet and is divided by 4 beds. The garden has been available for use for a long time, but it has never been sustained. At the beginning of the 2013-14 school year, we started managing it differently. One administrator (Nadjiba Medjaoui) was assigned to manage the garden, and she promptly applied for the Whole Kids Foundation Grant. Parents donated time, material and labor to launch the garden!
