Garden Classrooms

The Seed Community Food Hub

The Seed Community Food Project is an initiative aimed at increasing community food security in Guelph, Ontario. We are currently a project of the Guelph Community Health Centre (CHC)- with plans to establish ourselves as an independent non-profit organzation in the next three years.

Grow to Learn and Governors Island Teaching Garden

As part of GrowNYC’s Greening department, both Grow to Learn and the Governors Island Teaching Garden aim to use urban gardens as a space for exploration, experiential learning and community building. Grow to Learn is the citywide school gardens initiative for New York City. We work with public and charter schools to ensure that gardens are sustainable teaching resources in the long term, responsive to each individual community’s vision and needs, and transformative for student learning in the cafeteria, classroom, and beyond.

FRESHFARM FoodPrints Program

What is FoodPrints?

FoodPrints is FRESHFARM Market’s food education program that aims to make positive changes in what children and their families eat through highly engaging, hands-on experiences with growing, harvesting, cooking and eating nutritious, local foods in season.   We work in partnership with administrators and teachers to ensure that FoodPrints is a relevant, enriching program that teaches Common Core, Next Generation Science and DCPS/OSSE Health standards, and that adapts to the unique curricular goals of each school we partner with.

Seattle Parks & Recreation's Urban Food Systems Program

Seattle Parks & Recreation’s mission is to provide welcoming and safe opportunities to play, learn, contemplate & build community, and promote responsible stewardship of the land. The Urban Food Systems Program’s core value is to be a learning organization that creates opportunities for the most-impacted communities to equitably and powerfully engage with local, sustainable food systems. Good Food Gardens serve communities with significant Southeast Asian, East African, African American, and Latino populations in central and south Seattle.

Green City Market

The mission of Green City Market is to improve the availability of a diverse range of high quality foods through connecting local producers and farmers to chefs, food organizations, and the greater Chicagoland community.  Green City Market achieves this mission by supporting small family farms and through providing education to adults and children about local, fresh, sustainably raised produce and products. Green City Market aims to create a sustainable food system in Chicago through our markets, outreach, and educational programming.

The Patachou Foundation

The Patachou Foundation feeds wholesome meals to food-insecure school children in our community and teaches them to create healthy habits. 

Food Revolution Seed2Plate Afterschool Program

On March 7th, 2016, we introduce and implement our Seed2Plate initiative at Red Bay Primary with 30 students as a pilot program. We will run the program for 12 weeks (until the end of the year) while fundraising for the program to be in other public schools for the fall. In our weekly class we will tend to the garden and learn about elements like composting, weeding, greenhouses, critters, installing vertical growing units, soil viability and how to grow foods that can thrive in our tropical environment.

MARC Community and School Garden

Our garden program is one piece of our community's goal to make healthy food accessible and affordable for all residents. Our goal is for students to be invested in both their own health and the environment; we believe they can do this by working outside and developing a relationship with the garden space. When students are involved in the process of growing and preparing food, we believe they will be more excited to eat fresh foods.
