HomeFront Victory Garden

HomeFront has been established in Mercer County, NJ for 21 years! A few years back, we decided to start a small community garden, outside of our community center, to share the love of gardening with the people of Lawrenceville, NJ.  Fast-foward to 2012, and now the garden has grown tremendously; with plants ranging from summer squash to strawberries and hungarian peppers. Also starting this year, we are using the garden during our Summer Camp to teach the children in our program where their food comes from, healthy and organic eating habits, and composting methods!

Peacock Learning Garden

After several years of discussion and volunteerism with community gardens, we were able to find the means to launch a Learning Garden on site and we completed our first growing season in 2011. It was a resounding success and we are excited about developing further opportunities to integrate the use of the space and create additional opportunities for our students and community.

 

Cincinnati Youth Farm

My name is Adam Boomer I am a Masters of Social Work student and University of Cincinnati.  I am looking to start a program to give youth 18-24 skills to working in the new economy.  We would like to to build a self sustaining program that pays a living wage to these youth, build a better community and bring healthy food to the food desert of Cincinnati. 

Thanks for any help.

The Edible Schoolyard Program at Maharishi School in Fairfield, Iowa, enriches the education of our students by introducing them to gardening, composting, seed saving and the tasting of new vegetables and herbs. Our facilities include a large greenhouse, butterfly garden, courtyard orchard and a Nature Explore classroom.
