Garden Classrooms

Endeavor Learning Center

 Endeavor Learning Center enrolls infants through 3rd graders. Our Mission is to prepare our children to care for their environment and each other through gardening, composting, recycling, and enjoying the outdoors. We feel the younger these habits are instilled the more likely they will be carried through adulthood.

We are surrounded by 5.8 acres of a Wildlife Habitat. The children are creating an edible forest, organic gardens, a native plant prairie, and this year helping to build a haybale greenhouse. 

Garden and Nature Club at Veterans Park Elementary School

 My friend and I wanted to start teaching kids where their food comes from and how to grow your own vegetables.  We are parent volunteers and started a small after club this year.  We want to continue to expand and hopefully have the cafeteria be able to use our harvest.  We have big dreams, but it's only the 2 of us and our funding is limited.

Dublin High Special Education Garden Program

The program was created to provide opportunities for moderate and severely students with disabilities opportunities to work and increase social interactions with general educational students.

We grow produce throughout the year and then collect donations for it when it is ready.
