Garden Classrooms

Montessori School of Evergreen Garden Program

We have a greenhouse that is surrounded by a fenced in outdoor classroom space that is in the process of being built with funds provided by the Whole Kids Foundation.  Volunteers and staff bring small groups of students to the greenhouse to care for the gardens and learn about the importance of taking care of our soil and water resources.

Roots and Wings Montessori School

Roots and Wings provides education and childcare for children from age 4 months to adolescence.  Now in our 27th year, we take education out of the industrial age of conveyor belt education into the current century of mindfulness and individualized learning.  We focus on earth stewardship, respect for equality and dignity among all people, entrepreneurship from age five, student inspired creativity and relevant academics.  We follow each child, enabling them to find their gifts and use them in service, empowering them to make a difference in the world.

In Praise of Soil

ALICE's arts, gardening, and nutrition program, In Praise of Soil is a collaboration with inner-city Oakland elementary schools. In Praise of Soil artists guide the children in creating visual arts projects based on the students' studies of plants, and integrate the art into existing science, social studies and language arts curricula. Students create temporary artwork as a means of expression, as a model of communication and collaboration, and as an inspiration for practicing interpersonal and literacy skills.

Ravenscroft Lower School

Our garden , Raven Roots Vegetable Garden is enclosed by a deer fence and contains four raised beds. It is located on the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade playground so children have supervised access to it during recess. It uses rainwater collected into rainbarrels from the 5th grade building's  roof. The organic soil came from Brooks, an industrial foodwaste processor, that creates mulch  from our food waste recycling program in our school's lunchroom.
