From Seed to Table

We live in a rural district on the Oregon coast. We are a very small school district with our brand new garden. Our garden, which includes cold frames and raise beds will serve our 200 students K - 12. The children have a wonderful opportunity to actively get their own hands into the soil and learn where their food comes from. They learn the science behind soil testing, plant physiology and development, seed germination, and plant production. Herbs and spices grown in the garden will be used in our culinary arts projects, and shared with students and families.

Hazelwood Community Garden

We are in the process of creating a learning garden at our school.  I would like to focus on growing food to eat in our classrooms or in our lunchroom.

Boys & Girls Club of Denison Victory Garden

We established a small victory garden 2 years ago in the backyard of the Boys & Girls Club.   Club members planted the seeds, tended the garden and when vegetables began blooming they were very excited and were able to take home 1 or 2 pieces of the vegetables.   Our problem our garden is not big enough to support the large amount of kids we serve .   Nor do the parents know how to cook and serve the vegetables we send home.especially squash.

 

Ruth Washburn Cooperative Nursery School

We are a parent cooperative preschool in Colorado Springs, CO.  Gardening is an important part of our school curriculum, the emphasis being on teaching the children at a young age healthy eating habits and how our produce is grown. We have a wonderful fenced garden with raised beds, but are trying to find ways to maximise our growing season and make it a continuum even though the children are gone over the summer and are in a different class the following school year.
