Montessori School Of Huntsville

The Montessori School of Huntsville (MSH) educates children to prepare them for a life of purpose, integrity, and academic accomplishment.  We develop independent learners, critical thinkers, and tomorrow’s leaders.   Since 2010, MSH has developed the acreage at our main location into a multi-faceted outdoor classroom. Projects for the outdoor classroom have been funded largely through local grants and parent support.

Vannoy Elementary School Garden

We are a school garden with a focus of outdoor education. We are hoping to develop into a more vital and integrated part of our community through donations of our produce to students and families. We have partnered with WOOFER volunteers, parents, CVSan, The Crayon Initiative, our cafeteria for composting and continue to look into ways in which we can develop something that will engage young minds to get their hands dirty.

Laboratorios para la Vida

Laboratorios para la Vida (Laboratories for Life) or Labvida is an action research project based in Chiapas, Mexico which centers on delivering a course titled 'Alimentación, Comunidad y Aprendizaje' (Food, Community and Learning) with adult educators working with different age groups in a variety of environments. This course focuses on local agro-food systems, agroecology, interncultural dialogue, and constructivist pedagogy, using the edible school garden as a place for exchange between the school and the surrounding community.

Roots and Shoots Garden Ministry

WE are a garden school community that meets weekly with about 25 members from grades 3-5.  We have an edible fruitful field of tropical trees and two garden towers along with several raised beds filled with herbs.  We promote love of the earth.
