Garden Classrooms

UVA Community Garden

The UVA Community Garden is a student-run organic garden in the middle of UVA's campus. It was founded three years ago and serves as an example of local, sustainable gardening to students and members of the greater Charlottesville community. We engage the community through twice weekly workdays, monthy potlucks, and other events such as workshops and speakers. Food harvested from the garden is shared by those who volunteer in the garden, and surplusses are donated to those in need.

Jardin de Los Ninos school garden

Jardin de los Ninos is a Nationally Acreddited Early Childhood Learning Center located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We provide free and much needed childcare to homeless and near homeless families. Jardin serves children from ages 6 weeks thru 5th grade in our After School Program and averages between 50-80 enrolled at a time. We are seeking to start a school garden to provide the families and children with an education about agriculture and better eating habits. The school garden project is being spearheaded by Bridget Hughes, a full-time Americorps member at Jardin de los Ninos.
