Garden Classrooms

San Andreas High School

Our goal is to re-invigorate our gardening program on site. The teacher taking over the program is also the shop/art teacher and will be incorporating building elements for new growing beds work tables seed beds a small greenhouse and revitalizing/stocking the tool shed. We have a decent amount of space for the garden but with a new garden design and study in year-round gardening our food production could increase dramatically and include the entire school in its maintenance and life.

Samuels Elementary School

We have four primary goals for our community garden:.1.Support an organic 'garden to cafeteria' program.2.Incorporate the garden with the school.3.Integration with the community.4.Our first garden is ready for planting in April 2012!.Our garden is in the planning stages so all funds will be directed to actual infrastructure and materials for the garden setup - everything from tools seeds storage etc.

ESYNOLA, Samuel J. Green Charter School

As the Edible Schoolyard New Orleans' founding garden, the growing spaces at Samuel J. Green Charter School wrap around the school, encircling its students with reminders that the natural world inspires curiosity, and that beauty is the language of caring. Whether it's finding a quiet space in the butterfly garden to reflect, keeping an eye on the fruit ripening each day in the side yard orchard, or getting hands in the dirt in the main garden beds, Green's gardens inspire exploration and the sense that something truly wonderful might be just around the corner, or under the next leaf.

Sam Houston High School

United Way would like to work with a local Title I high school Sam Houston and integrate a garden into their STEM-aligned magnet school (Science Technology Engineering and Math) to integrate real-life experiences with the curriculum. Sam Houston students have worked hard over the past year to revitalize their courtyard and school helping make it a school that students want to attend. The garden would be a great asset on campus for the students and local community residents.

Salvador Elementary School

Our schools lack the infrastructure and funding to inform students about nutrition and plant-to-food connections that are missing from their household education. School gardens represent a viable opportunity to unite the efforts of parents and teachers to overcome this deficiency.

Salmon River High School and Riggins Elementary

The primary goal of the program is to expand and maintain an existing school garden to support improved nutritional habits of both elementary and high school students in Riggins Idaho with senior citizens serving as mentors. This mentorship will foster rich rural community relationships across the ages. The grant funds will be used to improve an already existing school garden and to renovate an existing greenhouse. To improve the fruit and vegetable consumption of a rural low income community.

Salem High School

The proposed project would be for high school students to plant cultivate & harvest crops to sell at farmers' markets. Proceeds from the sales would support the Salem Teen Leadership Program (middle-school students).. This is a great way to involve teens -- on the giving -- and the receiving end! This project will also teach them a lot about nature planting cultivating small business sales marketing etc. It's a win-win for high school and middle school teens to participate and benefit.

Salazar Elementary

The garden's goals are many and are constantly integrated further through the discussion and actions of our students staff family and all collaborative organizations. Above all we seek to provide student's with the ability to know and grow food. To love and shift our food system including the eating.

Saint Helens Elementary

Construction began on the 6 000 sq ft garden in June 2011. It is now fenced and has raised beds water supply and a garden shed with tools. Our goal for this year is to plant dwarf fruit trees berries grapes and kiwis and to construct cinderblock compost bins & install 2 rain barrels to collect water from shed roof. These improvements will make ours fully functioning and many times more productive. More produce means more kids get to cook and eat more fresh foods.
