Garden Classrooms

Vertical Tower Garden

Aeroponic Tower Garden is a vertical growing system that can be utilized by small spaces. This would allow more schools to be a part of the edible education project. Not all schools have the land necessary for traditional gardening. All children need to be infored of where real food comes from and the benefits of healthy eating. The system is easy to use and environmentally friendly. I have seen preschoolers plant and tend to the garden.

Lower Columbia School Gardens

LCSG helps schools start & sustain gardens in SW WA - dynamic outdoor classrooms where students experience the natural world & engage in hands-on learning of science, math, nutrition, ecosystems & more. Children have opportunities to connect with real food & to treat themselves, others, & the world around them with care & respect. Students often take the lead; our staff & volunteers look for the teachable moments.

Elmhurst Community Prep/Alliance Academy Healthy Cooking & Gardening Groups

The goal of the ECP/AA garden and healthy cooking program is to increase food access and nutrition information for the students of Elmhurst Community Prep and the East Oakland community. It provides an interactive learning space where classes and after-school programs can incorporate the garden into lesson plans that teach about biology and food justice. The school garden creates an environment where students are encouraged and excited to learn about new, healthy foods and the ways in which they are grown.
 

Monforton School Garden

Monforton School has a garden which supplies produce and herbs to the kitchen, as well as growing relationships with local producers that provides the central kitchen with produce. 

Green Thumbs Growing Kids

Green Thumbs Growing Kids serves 3,000 children, youth and families every year in hands-on experiential programs in four school food gardens, and also greenhouse, summertime and after-school programs. We have a youth empowerment program and hire students for the summer, resulting in deeper community engagement in the school gardens, which function as a food security measure in the low-income communities where our programs are located.

Indigo Fields Forever

 

The purpose of this gardening project is to give Teens and Young Adults a place where they can learn about how to grow their own food & flowers, and create products from the land and from their imaginations. The idea is to have this be a self-contained program, where not only is the program itself supported, but a portion of the proceeds will go directly to the participants. Ideally, they will use it to pursue their passions and create an abundant life for themselves.

The Food Education Enrichment and Development (F.E.E.D.) Organization

The Food Education Enrichment and Development (F.E.E.D.) Organization is focused on enhancing
the lives of young women between the ages of 18-21 who have aged out of the foster system and
have limited life and employable skills. Through the F.E.E.D. Organization's "Let's Eat" program,
participants will learn how to grow and prepare foods they have farmed themselves (this includes
canning). These young women will also be given the opportunity to become Safe Staff certified
