Garden Classrooms

Southern High School Garden Club

Our school garden is growing!  We are building a program from the ground up and incorporating different content areas to get the students some hands on learning experiences!

Evanston Ecology Center Food and Garden Program

We are a newly established community center food and education program.

Mountain Song Community School

 We are a new Waldorf methods based charter school in Colorado Springs with Agricultural Arts and Cooking Nutrition as an integral part of our curriculum.  Although 33% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch, we have chosen to be independent of state/federal program - our students brown bag snacks and lunch. We plan to expand our gardens and growing spaces (which started on a parking lot bed) to help support a locally sourced school food and our existing cooking program.

Chickasaw Elementary Outdoor Classroom

Our outdoor classroom is designed to meet several purposes within our school.  First it gives hands on experience to students in grades K-5 that align with national reading, math and science standards.  It also serves as outdoor experience for our special education population.  Students are able to interact in a real world situation with gardeners, farmers, and other volunteers. 

Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students

The Baltimore Urban Gardening with Students (BUGS) Program of Living Classrooms Foundation works with children from under-served Baltimore City communities throughout the year with an after-school program as well as a summer program. The program's primary goal is to empower and inspire our children to develop academically, creatively, and socially.

Morris Veggie Garden

The Morris Veggie Garden was developed early in 2013 to give the students a place where they can see where food comes from and to use in conjunction with academics including science, math, and language arts.

Saddleback College Culinary Arts

 Growing Healthy Kids, Inc. creates garden-based solutions to the childhood obesity epidemic through our core education programs:

Growing Healthy Kids in the Kitchen

Growing Healthy Kids in the Garden

We have strategic parterships with Boys and Girls Clubs and Youth Mentoring programs which allow us to reach children and families who live in food deserts where there is a higher incidence of obesity-related diseases.  Using new technology such as airponic growing systems, we bring fresh food production into the classroom.  

Middle School Garden Club

 Students meet once a week during the school year after school. We plant potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, tomatillos, carrots every spring, starting everything from seed. We had a good summer harvest this year. Once school started we sold tomatoes to staff and faculty and donated tomatoes to a food pantry. We also have 4 hens who live in their coop in the garden so they fertilize and rotatile the soil for next spring's garden.

Riviera Hall Lutheran School

Riviera Hall Garden Program is excited about creating outdoor science learning and increasing the student's knowlegde of nutrition and health and wellness!

The Children's House Earth to Table

 We believe that education for all children should integrate opportunities to understand about the importance of a healthy body and mind. Through our Earth to Table program, it is our mission to offer children developmentally appropriate opportunities for physical activity, gardening, and cooking. Our vision is for every child to learn healthy practices from the start and lifestyle habits that will last a lifetime. Additionally, we hope to offer opportunities for other programs to learn from our model.
