Garden Classrooms

Adventures Learning Centers

We provide children ages 6 weeks to 12 years with a safe and nurturing learning environment. When a family enrolls in one of our centers, we form a partnership with them and make a promise to provide the same consistent, quality care that they would give their own child. We are honored that they have included us in their journey into early childhood. One of our goals is to support children’s desire to be life-long learners and where better to start then giving children the opportunity to develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime!

Project Primal at West Broward High

We are a High School micro-farm that grows and sells tomatoes, lettuce, sweet potatoes, and herbs to teachers and the community.  We also pride ourselves in building school gardens for other neighboring schools.

The Wisdom Garden

 The Wisdom Garden supports elementary, middle and high school, students, as well as after school, pre-school, Saturday and summer camp participants through agriculture based programs. Our 5,000 square foot Wisdom Garden is located at a public school, Spann Elementary School in Jackson, Mississippi.It was implemented as a teaching garden to help promote healthy eating, nutrition and agriculture education at this Title I school where 88% of the students receive free and reduced lunch.

Red Hook Playgroup

Red Hook Playgroup (RHP) is a progressive preschool for children ages two-and-a-half to five years old. Each year at RHP we work to develop a community of learners, who are equipped at this early period of development to think creatively and critically, and to respect, support, and learn from all members of their community.

Harvest Lots

We are transforming an unattractive vacant lot into a productive garden.  We will host class field trips to show children what we have done, about healthy food and contributing to their community.  We donate the food grown to local crisis centers and food banks.  Our long term goal is to tranform other vacant lots and eventually create an organization to help other communities transform their vacant lots into gardens!

Cubberley Garden Club

 We have a small raised bed garden for 1st through 3rd grade students at Cubberley Elementary School (K-8). We are hopeful to expand and someday have something large enough to host more grades.

Waconia Edible Classroom

The Waconia Edible Classroom is located on farmland adjacent to Clearwater Middle School.  The garden site includes a 1/2 acre vegetable garden, 65 fruit trees, and offers a dozen community plots for rent.  The Edible Classroom is an outdoor learning space that gives students the opportunity to learn the seed-to-table process through hands on learning.

How does our garden grow?
Students start seeds indoors in the spring and transplant to the garden before school is out for the summer.  During summer months Kids Co participants and local volunteers tend to the garden.

Weinstein JCC Kid's Place Garden

 The garden is small right now but we are growing kale, radish, turnip, and mustards. It is part of the Weinstein JCC's afterschool program called Kid's Place for grades K-5. Gardening is one class in the afterschool program and it's just getting off the ground! For 30 minutes each week, every grade has their gardening class. So far they've devoured kale chips (and raw kale!), used veggies and fruits as stamps, sampled radish sprouts (reactions from 'that tastes like baby food' to 'when can we have more?' were shouted), and worked in the garden doing various chores.
