Ames School Gardens Project

 

We coordinate two school garden programs in the Ames Community School District in Ames, Iowa.  Working with many community partners and volunteers, we provide hands-on garden, cooking and nutrition education programs in and out of school.  All garden projects are also community-based, and food goes to families in the wider community as well as students and their families.

special needs garden ... walk-of-life

 I need to speak with several people before discussing my program but it involves, individual student programs as well as small group, whole class and even whole school if chosen. 

I am a special needs teacher and my programs can be adapted for any age level and any type of school.

please contact me if you are interested in developing my programs.

 

thank you

Grow Pittsburgh

Grow Pittsburgh's school garden program was born in 2006 as a pilot program in two Pittsburgh Public Schools.  Over the years we have seen the interest and demand for school garden programming grow signficantly.  We currently support fifteen school gardens in the region and look forward to continuing to work with more schools through a bi-annual application process.

Earth Champs

We are beginning an organic garden project this year of native and Florida-friendly edible plants with a focus on sustainability and peace practices, in line with the principles of the Earth Charter  and its family division, Earth Champs (www.earthcharterus.org).  We integrate music, art, and science studies into the garden-centric curriculum.

Camp Kitchen & Harvest

Camp Kitchen & Harvest seeks to teach youth the value of gardening, cooking, and healthy eating to empower them to reach their goals.

Sproutside

Sproutside is the Flint Children's Museum's outdoor area which features an organic garden. The children who visit the museum help to plant, tend, and harvest the produce. We grow a variety of foods so that children gain exposure to all sorts of things such as okra, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and eggplants. Families are welcome to taste any of the produce, and to take vegetables home to enjoy. We use the garden for many educational opportunities such as teaching about important vitamins and healthy eating habits.
