Garden Classrooms

 Uplift Community School is in its innaugural year as Gallup's Expeditional Learning School. Second and Third grade have teamed with a FoodCorps service member to establish a garden that will grow and flourish with the school. We have built and painted 8 raised garden beds. We envision expanding until our garden is an integral part of our school culture. In the future we hope to be growing enough food to provide for the school cafeteria!

 Stonehurst has a wonderful growing garden filled with vegtables, flowers and plants. 

 Church Rock Elementary School has a humble but prolific garden. It is small in size, but mighty in production and effect. At Church Rock, second and third grade champion teachers have been working in the garden for 2 years. Their students have grown strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and beans. Although not every student in every grade has had a chance to work in the garden, the teachers have organized a way for each student to taste the produce! 

The Green Heart Project is a non-profit organization based in Charleston, South Carolina that builds school gardens and farm-to-school programs to educate students, connect people and cultivate community.  We currently oversee five school gardens and 12 school-garden programs in mostly low-income schools in Charleston, SC.  We serve 1,200 students (K-5) annually across those five school partners through a series of in-school programming, after-school programming and culinary classes.
