Garden Classrooms

The Agrarian Adventure

The Agrarian Adventure is a publicly-supported 501(c)3 nonprofit that exists due to the active participation and dedicated support of students, teachers, parents, and community members working with schools to connect students with food, health, community, and agriculture. We are a volunteer-led grassroots organization, made possible by support from the community since 2003.
Our program areas are:

Roosevelt Elementary School Community Garden

The Community Garden at Roosevelt Elementary School is run year-round on the campus schoolground, and serves the students and families of Roosevelt School, as well as those of the adjacent Broadmoor Preschool, and families in the Roosevelt School community. The Community Garden is run by volunteers, and has eighteen garden beds, herbs, flowers, fruit trees and an educational sensory garden. The Community Garden is also the center of Roosevelt's lunchtime composting program, a parent-run project that conducts lunchtime composting and recycling throughout the year.

The Cultivated Classroom @ Gregory-Lincoln Education Center

Gregory-Lincoln is a Fine Arts Magnet prek-8th grade school located in historic Fourth Ward, in the shadow of downtown Houston. Our school community is typical of so many American schools, blessed with talented, smart kids, and struggling with childhood obesity, as well as the looming threat of Type II diabetes. Instead of sitting idly by we decided to raise our pitchforks, plates, and pencils to change how we think and consume food.

Established in 1998 with the building of our greenhouse, we have expanded over the years and now have 2 ponds, a wetland, a chicken coop, berry bushes, 8 themed gardens and 16 classroom vegetable gardens. All of our students visit the Nature Zone regularly; they participate in weekly or bi-weekly greenhouse classes, plant and harvest their classroom gardens and care for our chickens.
