10,000 Gardens in Africa - Botswana

Creating 10,000 good, clean and fair food gardens in African schools and communities means not only raising awareness among young generations about the importance of food biodiversity and access to healthy, fresh food, but also training a network of leaders aware of the value of their land and their culture who can serve as protagonists for change and the continent’s future.

Huerto Semilla Cucurbitácea/ Kinder Tri-Ciclo

At Tri-Ciclo Kindergarten we are seeking to reduce the gap between children and food, and as a major goal, with the Nature. We present the garden as a place where everything has to be respected and welcome. Where bugs and plants dance together a song about symbiosis, collaboration, respect, patience, sacrifice. The garden is the place where we learn how not only to produce food, but respect each other, is the place where we not just observe, instead we are an active individual. Where we also chop, eat, and share.

Plumosa School of the Arts Edible Garden

About Us

Our school garden was founded at the start of the  2015-16  school year.  Our initial funding for the installation of our garden came from the Whole Kids Foundation School Garden Grant as well as a donation of organic soil and mulch from The Scott's Miracle-Gro Company.

Our garden consists of 10 raised beds where students in grades K-6 plant and nurture edible herbs and vegetables from seed to harvest. Together with our PTA, we organize weekend garden day events where families can come to enjoy some quality time working in the garden! 

The Edible Garden at the American Overseas School of Rome

The Edible Garden at AOSR, was created out of the desire of teacher, parents and administrators recognizing the importance of teaching students to grow clean food and care for the earth, the environment and each other. Our Garden was born thanks to the encouragement of Alice Water whom I met at The American Academy of Rome. Alice encouraged our vision and gave us ideas and collaborators actively supporting us in the creation of our Edible Garden.
