Garden Classrooms

Green School Bali

Green School is an international school in Bali, Indonesia, with approximately 300 students in Pre-K through Grade 12. These include fee-paying students from 40 countries and other parts of Indonesia, along with local Balinese children who attend via a scholarship program. Our commitment to sustainable practices earned us the Center for Green Schools at the US Green Building Council's innagural award as the “Greenest School on Earth”.

Grass Valley Charter School Garden

The mission of the Science Garden at Grass Valley Charter School is to provide quality lessons in gardening and science to the students of Grass Valley Charter School. We hope to open the space up to the other schools in our district very soon. Every student from Pre-K through 6th grade attends 45 minute weekly garden classes. The classes often teach Science Standards through the lens of gardening. 

New Pond Farm

 Each year, using our outstanding outdoor classrooms, we bring students of all ages outside and offer hands-on environmental programs that focus on our habitats with their diverse flora and fauna. When people appreciate and understand the world around them, they become better stewards of their environment.

The Grizzly Garden

Students in my class have built a compost bin and started to compost cafeteria scraps and seaweed to develop rich compost.  Our plan is to plant potatoes this spring in containers and in the fall harvest them to use in recipes in our classroom.  We are working to develop a raised bed garden at Kodiak Middle School.

Project Raw FPC

Our Company is a California based Flexible Purpose Corporation that focuses primarily in 3 areas: Outreach, Education, Community.  

Our OUTREACH program helps homeless shelters and food underprivileged organizations to maximize the shelf life of their donated fruits and vegetables.  We then teach them the nutritional benefits of them and implement high speed blenders to mix the "green" in with their smoothies.

 

Our EDUCATION program is delivered through media and website that explain and teach individuals the importance of a plant based nutritional diet.

Let's Grow

 Farm to school program for K-6 grade students in Santa Barbara county schools.

Cooking Sprouts

Cooking Sprouts is a cooking and vegetable gardening program for public school students in Brooklyn that operates under the auspices of New York Cares. On Saturdays throughout the growing season, from April to October, twenty children from 2nd through 4th grade and eight adult volunteers garden and prepare delicious meals together. Kids see that there’s something magical and joyful in cooking and eating food you’ve planted, grown, and harvested yourself, and they share what they’ve learned with their families.

Escondido Sprouts

We are in the beginning stages of developing our garden program.  Currently, students can attend the Garden Club once a week during the lunch hour. 

Park Avenue School/Community Garden

The Park Avenue School/Community Garden was built by the families in our school community.  We now have 9 raised beds as well as Woolly Pockets hanging on our fence.  We grow a variety of vegetables-- lettuces,carrots, spinach, radishes, cucumbers, kale, swiss chard, garlic, potatoes, herbs and more.  The children are involved in all aspects of gardening from planting the seeds to harvesting the vegetables.  We have supplied our school cafeteria with produce and during the summer months families volunteer to take care of the garden.

Druid Hills Middle School Gardens

 Druid HIlls Middle School has 8 teacher gardens that exposes students to growing healthy, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables.  Through our Environmental club, science enrichment classes, and 6th grade Earth Science classes, students have experienced planting, maintaining, harvesting, research, and of course eating healthy food that they have grown.  

 

Students also help with composting to amend our soil.  This year we did our first food donation to the Atlanta Mission shelter that helps to feed 250 women and children daily.
