Chisenhale Primary School's Edible School Playground

We grow a huge range of fruits and vegetables from raspberries and blueberries to pumpkins, lettuce and onions. Pupils sow the seeds, nurture the crops and then harvest. Some produce goes to the the school cafeteria so the pupils get a chance to eat what they have grown. Some produce gets used in lessons across all curriculum subjects. All pupils get a chance to learn about growing their own food and living in a more sustainable way. We run lunchtime and after school gardening clubs and each class has two head gardeners who go on gardening trips.

Maine School Garden Network

The Maine School Garden Network is a volunteer organization whose mission is to promote and facilitate educational gardens for Maine youth, grades pre-K through high school.  We meet monthly in Brunswick, Maine.  We have a website with resources for educational gardeners and a Maine school garden directory.  We hold professional development conferences for educators and engage in other activities to help get school gardens started and to publicize their benefits.

Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation Henderson College

The aim of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation is to introduce pleasurable food education into as many Australian primary schools as possible.  
Our Program emphasises the flavours as well as the health benefits of fresh, seasonal food.
Dishes cooked reflect the vegetables, herbs and fruits grown, season-by-season, by the children in their organic gardens.
Our Kitchen Specialist instructors emphasise balance and moderation, and endorse the concept of preparing fruit-based desserts ‘sometimes' only.

Little Owl Preschool

 We are a small Reggio-inspired preschool, recently opened in 2010, serving children ages 2 1/2 to 6 years of age.  When we were planning the things we felt were important for Little Owl to focus on, the nature of food was right up at the top of our list. To give our children a “language of food” meant to share a way for children to see how food comes to our table.  To show how wonderfully delicious healthy, fresh food can be and to enable children to make good nutritional choices in their eating habits was an essential goal.

Youth Villages AmeriCorps Community Garden

The Youth Villages AmeriCorps community garden began in 2007, as an AmeriCorps service learning project designed to create a garden space for learning and meditation at the Youth Villages Inner Harbour Campus in Douglasville, GA. The first planting occurred in the spring of 2008, and every spring, summer and fall, AmeriCorps members, students, staff and teachers plant and harvest organic vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.
