Garden Classrooms

Hawaii Island School Garden Network

On Hawaiʻi Island, there is a growing commitment to food self-reliance and land stewardship that promotes sustainable island communities.

Beau Jardin

In the fall of 2013, my 2nd grade French Immersion class started a 700 square foot garden. The purpose of this garden is to enrich our science curriculum capabilities in my grade level and others, provide an extension to our classroom learning about nutrition, and provide food donations to needy families in our school as well as a local soup kitchen, Abraham's Tent. We complete year-long studies about plants, bugs, health, and cycles of all kinds. 

Rockland Country Day School Organic Garden

RCDS organic garden program was founded as an exploratory native plant garden. Over the years a small pond has been added and raised beds were built and a solar powered shed with a hot house was built, all done by students and volunteers.

We are educating k-8 students on a year round basis (inside during inclement months) focusing on incoporating STEM in to every lesson and connecting our program to other Parteners for Change affiliates and create a truly sustainable organic edible garden and garden-to-cafeteria experience. 

Florida Farm to School Program, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services

The Florida Farm to School program partners local farms with K-12 schools to provide Florida children with nourishing, locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables in school cafeterias.

Mark Twain Middle School "Seeds to Plate Program"

The Seeds to Plate Program aims to create and maintain a school garden that is integrated into the academic environment, promote a healthy food culture, nurture physical and mental well-being and provide hands-on gardening and eating experiences for students, families and staff to foster mutual respect, appreciation of diversity, community spirit and sustainability of the earth.

Sustainable Kids

Since 2007, the students of Rhode Street School in Dinsdale, Hamilton, New Zealand have created annual Vision Maps as part of their Enviroschools inquiry unit on sustainability. From these student-centred and voiced ideas came the popular theme of growing their own healthy food. The students also wanted to learn how to prepare and cook the produce and, finally, how to market and share their surplus.

The mission of Living Classroom is to inspire children to learn and value our natural world through garden-based education. We collaborate with schools and communities to provide engaging, hands-on lessons that stimulate curiosity and instill a love of learning.  We create beautiful outdoor learning laboratories that give children from a wide variety of backgrounds a compelling introduction to STEM, environmental science and other sugjects.  We offer a full range of program services to assure consistency and sustainability within a school cdistrict.

Antigua International School

The Antigua International School (AIS) was founded to provide a world-class education, based on critical thinking, to the children of Guatemala, regardless of their socio-economic status.  Half of AIS's student body receives scholarships to attend. Through an Edible Schoolyard, our hope is to educate students and the extended community on the benefits of growing their own food.  AIS's diverse student population provides a great opportunity to create positive nutritional changes in Guatemala.
