Garden Classrooms

Ronald E. McNair Elementary

We would like to build on the application of the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) in the garden. This grant would give our students hands-on experiences to reinforce learning in the classroom. We would use this grant as an after-school opportunity for enrichment and instruction. There would be a garden club for grades 3-5 which would meet twice a week. There would also be a garden club for parents and PreK-2nd grade students which would meet once a week.

Talahi Community School

As part of new STEM curriculum for our school we see as our garden goal on the following:
To create a school garden that will become learning laboratory for students as they pursue a number of plant projects. This is especially true in the second and fourth grades where students have major units on growing a number of different plants
This garden project is a further extension of the reading garden that Talahi is undertaking this year. Through a grant from Lowe

Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School

Project D.I.G. is the centerpiece of the effort at Contentnea-Savannah K-8 School (CSS) to reduce the rate of childhood obesity and make students more aware of the value of good nutrition. By tending raised-bed gardens and a row garden, students learn that food doesn't grow in the grocery store and become acquainted with nutritious produce they do not often see on their plate. The experience of planting and growing, as well as tasting the fruits of their labor, make "health" and "nutrition" more than words for them.

Tindley Preparatory Academy

Our goal is to produce enough produce to supply a farmstand that will serve disadvantage residents in our school community. Our project, the Tiger Caf̃

J E Moss Elementary School

Initially, our garden will be the focus for Project Based Learning for our school of nearly 1000 students. Students will answer driving questions designed to solve problems in our school, community and country. The research to answer these questions will be cross-curricular and student driven. Students will also have voice and choice in the selection of the problems and the presentation of the research. The research and solutions will be presented to a community based audience at the conclusion of the project.

Big Picture High School-Fresno

The goal of the garden is to provide students with the skills necessary to construct, maintain and harvest their own healthy source of organic vegetables. The grant will make this project possible by providing the necessary funds to implement and maintain the garden project. The students at Big Picture Middle/High School are from poor families and many do not have access to suitable areas to learn how to grow their own food. It is hoped that the students will gain skills that they can use at home to assist their families in developing their own gardens.

Jonesville High School

Our primary goal is to develop a sustainable garden that will provide fresh produce to our local food banks while educating our students on methods of organic gardening and food production. We have several goals for the Jonesville FFA community garden including expanding educational opportunities through a partnership with our elementary school and producing more produce to expand our donations to other food banks in our community. FFA students will go to the elementary classrooms and have the students plant the seeds which will be later transplanted in the garden.

Gearhart Elementary School Mobile Gardens

A Mobile Garden is a tool that allows you to grow food even if you don't have a place for a typical garden.  Repruposing retired shopping carts and outfitting them to be productive garden plots allows you to follow the sun, go to the water, move your garden with you, take it in an elevator, move it inside on a cold night, and go for a walk with your neighbors.  Best of all, a mobile garden gives you access to the freshest, most local food available- YOURS!  Mobile Gardens in our schools are made possible by a collaboration between North Coast Food Web and Oregon State University Extension.<
