Edible School Garden Designs

As a cookbook author and kitchen garden designer, I see opportunities for schools to create beautiful gardens that go beyond growing basic food. I work with school gardeners who seek creative ways to build edible garden areas to invite the whole school community to spend time outdoors connecting to the food that is grown miraculously from a small seed.

Rose Hill Elementary

We use our school garden as a teaching tool tied into science/writing/health curriculum; to support a culture of wellness; to grow food that can be used in the cafeteria; to connect the garden to the school's annual youth farmers market; and to engage the community in the experience.

Tam High Edible Garden

 This program is an idea that just popped into my head. 

Prospect Valley Elementary

We seek to create a learning environment giving students the opportunity to grow as an individual and provide them a hands-on experience learning positive healthy food habits at an early age. The garden incorporates every discipline including science math reading nutrition and health which provides a foundation for students to focus on their specific talents. The garden will also strengthen the connection of community parents and students as it is one of our Healthy School Wellness Goals.
