Garden Classrooms

Park Place Elementary

 The organic school community garden and orchard is the Outdoor classroom for after school kids! Growing, tasting and preparing is the after school curriculum.  As well exploration of  our food systems and how far our food travels to our plate. After-school gardening is generously underwritten by the Coorperative for After-School Initiative grant.

Sacramento COE Sustainable Environment Program

We are a public school program, run by Sacramento County Office of Education, serving youth with emotional and behavioral difficulties who cannot be served by their home schools/ districts.  A major part of our emphasis is to better prepare these students to move from school to the adult world.  One of our innovative programs is the "Sustainable Environments Academy", a grouping of high school students who help develop a school-based garden which supports our restaurant, our Farmer's Market, and our community service projects.

Urban Harvest Gardening Education

Urban Harvest promotes healthy communities, sound nutrition and respect for the environment by educating children and adults and facilitating harvest and habitat gardens.

 We support a network of school community gardens in the Houston area, as well as a partnering with nearly 20 schools sites to provide Garden Educators and community partnerships in Edible Education.

 

Lavender, Joe-Pye and Bumblebees

 I am the environmental science coordinator at my school and want to expand the organic garden we started last year.  Two classes participated, including my own (I am also a fourth-grade classroom teacher).  This year, I am attempting to inspire more teachers to get involved.  We have parental and community support for our endeavors and so I anticipate greater involvement from our teachers this year.  

Kidz-R-Brite At The Farm Gardening Program

I have two preschool/daycares and have an organic garden at both locations in Ladysmith, BC, Canada.  We just purchased the second location last year and we have 2 1/2 acres to work with.  Lots of space to grow fruits and vegetables.  I am searching for more ideas on expanding our current gardens so that we can be more self-sustaining in growing food for both personal and staff and also for the families that attend our school.  I am so excited about your program; its awesome.  We all are so keen to learn new gardening techniques.  I thank you so much for offering such a wonderful program to

Planting Justice

Planting Justice is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Oakland, California with a mission to democratize access to affordable nutritious food by empowering urban residents with the skills, resources, and knowledge to grow organic food, expand economic opportunities, and take action for environmental justice and sustainability in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Scotchtown Hills Elementary School

We want to create a garden where each grade level can plant and grown vegetables and fruits. This will not only teach students live long skills, but it will be a fun experience for everyone.

Noble Garden Club

Our school is demographically and socio-economically challenged.  Students do not understand the idea of healthy organic options for their diet.  If we can create a program to educate our students, they will be healthier and smarter students who are motivated to come to school and learn something different other than the normal curriculum, while they can take this with them to their homes and beyond.
