Garden Classrooms

The Uruguayan American School (UAS) is a private college preparatory school enrolling approximately 320 international and host country students in Nursery through Grade 12.
My job here as a School Nutritionist is to partner with the outsourced food service provider to ensure a nutritionally sound food program that supports healthy food habits while maintaining customer satisfaction. Our mission is to offer fresh, seasonal and local market cuisine.
Lunches and snacks are prepared according to our law N° 19.140, which promotes healthy eating habits in schools.

I have been performing as the Greenman (a12 foot tall walking Treeman that promotes trees and nature) for 20years.

i have a character, Johnny G Appletree, who is a nine foot tall walking talking Appletreeman. He has performed at schools in Okinawa, Inner Mongolia and Oakland CA.

I want to create a school program for him to promote edible school yards.

My goal by attending the Edible School Yard academy is to form the basis for my program.

Our programs draw from our own cultural histories while honoring connections with peasant farmers around the world.  We think of meals, produced from our farm by our students, as the binding elements of culture and our connection, throughg hands in the dirt, to agrarian cultures the world over, and to ourselves.  Our goal with students of all ages is the silence that settles in when a table full of eaters realizes they are tasting something from the garden, incrediblly delicious, fresh and nutritious, and that they had a hand in producing.

The Children’s Museumof Sonoma County’s mission is to inspire children’s creativity and stimulate their curiosity to discover the world through playful exploration of the arts and sciences.

The Edible Garden is a focal point in the Children's Museum of Sonoma County's campus.  To maintain the educational value and integrity of our garden, we work towards these 3 goals:

1.  Show visitors, especially children, where their food comes from and how it is grown.
