Garden Classrooms

Gardeneers

Gardeneers cultivates customized school garden programs to ensure that each space and the students and communities who care for it connect with healthy food and grow to their full potential.

Founded in 2014, Gardeneers provides garden education programming with students in 25 schools in Chicago. We focus on schools in low income, food desert communities where there is a lack of access to fresh, healthy food.

Hyannis West Elementary

My childrens' elementary school received a $1000 grant from a local church with the suggestion to start a school garden. As a Master Gardener and mom, I jumped at the chance to help get it going. After applying for and receiving a subsequent $2000 grant from Whole Kids Foundation, we were able to create a beautiful outdoor classroom with 11 raised beds (more coming), a worm composter, compost area, rain barrel, small shed and a sink for rinsing.

Children's Day School - Farm and Garden Program

At CDS we recognize that an intimate relationship with nature is critical for a child's full development. Our large, sunny schoolyard features an organic garden and farm, home to chickens and sheep that give children opportunities to experience first-hand the connections inherent to a healthy ecosystem, as well as to develop a sense of place and season. The CDS farm and garden program has three educational objectives for our students:

Centennial Montessori School

I am the Outdoor Educator at Centennial Montessori School in San Mateo.  We are a small private Montessori that serves children from 18 months- 5th grade.  

We started our outdoor program 2 years ago and have open flow from the classrooms.  Children can choose to come outside to care for the garden and spend time in our outdoor environment throughout the day.  The program and environment are still evolving and as always the garden is a work in progress.
