Cornerstone Permaculture

Cornerstone Permaculture is an ever-growing Permaculture farm, based on 4 acres of field and forest at the Headwaters of the Winooski River. 

Here we grow any and all perennial food and supplemental annuals that we can.  From Winter Squash to Buckwheat, Hardy Kiwi to Balck Walnuts, and everything hady in between.  Landscape Design plays a huge part in this project, as it is a residence for a young family of three.  We strive to utilize permaculture principles, such as having each variety or plant have 3 or more functions in order to be considered useful on the farm. 

City Schoolyard Garden

The City Schoolyard Garden was founded in 2009, its mission being to cultivate academic achievement, health, and environmental stewardship through garden-based learning. The local community of Charlottesville, Va. has embraced the project with many in-kind and financial donations. The principal of the middle school on whose grounds the garden is located has also given us his full support, adding that the garden is one of Buford's greatest assets.

Granada High School and Planada Community Garden

 Granada High School is a continuation High School that is creating a community garden behind the campus. Granada High is located in the town of Planada, Caliofrnia. Students have already established a community garden behind the Planada Community Church.

In the months ahead a fruit tree orchard and community garden will be planted behind the Granada High Campus. The students will be doing all the work and getting a chance to market their products at local farmer's markets.

Le Grand Community Garden, Le Grand, California

 We are a community garden that is located on the corner of Cook Street in Le Grand, California.

The garden is grown and maintained by Horticulture students and local student volunteers. We have two acres that is made into 30, 200 foot beds for community plantings. Last year was our first so we only had 6 rows planted, this year we hope to double or tripple community involvement.

feel free to send us any information.

Thanks!

Hamilton Habitat

We have a garden at our school called the Hamilton Habitat which is maintained by ourHabitat class along with parent volunteers and our urban harvest partner. The goals of our habitat class are to give students an opportunity to experience gardening, to learn about the environment, ecology, biology, and nutrition. We have also discovered that the habitat is a great place to work on useful skills like communication, cooperation, time management, problem solving, and citizenship.

Benavidez Community Garden

History of the Benavidez Community Garden

Persistence and perseverance in the face of adversity are, to some degree, fundamental to gardening in general, but, in the case of the Benavidez Community Garden in Houston, Texas, they have been there in spades...no gardening pun intended! :-) 

The Neighborhood Academy Garden

For the past 11 years, we have broken the cycle of generational poverty through education. We do this by developing the minds, bodies and spirits of our students, ensuring that they become fully productive members of society. The Neighborhood Academy is a faith-based, college-preparatory school in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood that provides education for students in grades 8-12 from low income families in the Pittsburgh area.

Travis Co-op

We support local farms and sustainable agriculture by giving our members an easy way to buy a variety of local and organic produce each week at a great price. Everything in our shares is either nationally-certified USDA organic or locally grown with sustainable farming practices by farmers we know. Travis Co-op also helps to foster a sense of community among our members and is a not-for-profit program.

Hogan Family YMCA Children's Garden

We are set to get started fundraising in March for a Kids Garden at the local YMCA.  200+ kids will get to experience digging in the dirt, playing with worms and eating the fruits & veggies of their labor.
