Garden Classrooms

The Seven Circles Garden is a 3/4 acre organic garden sustained and maintained by faculty, family, friends and students of the Meher Schools. The Garden is integrated into our regular academic day....all students have "garden" as part of their curriculum....including planting, growing, harvesting, snack preparation, garden math, garden art, nutrition. the garden project also partners with Futures Explored, a work place for developmentally disabled adults in Lafayette. 

The BELL Garden exists to cultivate, guide, and encourage shared community values of healthy living and lifelong learning.
 
The BELL Garden supports this mission by providing practical learning opportunities for residents of the community in a setting that promotes physical activity, healthy eating, environmental stewardship, and multi-cultural connections for all generations.

An afterschool program offered by the Boys and girls club of Sonoma County that serves 100-150 kids daily.

Good School Food (GSF) is Jones Valley Teaching Farm’s primary program.  GSF is a food education model that connects Pre K-12 students to food through cross-curricular, standards-based content during the school day.  GSF is unique in its approach to food education in public schools in that we provide schools with state-of-the-art teaching farms and full-time staff, known as GSF Instructors, who work with school faculty to develop dynamic programs and curricula. The outcomes of the GSF model are improved student learning and access to healthy food at the school level.
