Ames School Gardens Project

 

We coordinate two school garden programs in the Ames Community School District in Ames, Iowa.  Working with many community partners and volunteers, we provide hands-on garden, cooking and nutrition education programs in and out of school.  All garden projects are also community-based, and food goes to families in the wider community as well as students and their families.

Valley View Elementary School

 I am a new organic gardener and I am a mother of a new Kindergartner. I am on the PTA and I would LOVE to begin this program on her campus. We are the second smallest school in our district and an old-world, yummy feel exists on the campus and an organic gardening program would be a WONDERFUL addition to the after school curriculum. 

 

I am just a mom with a vision at this point. I have not asked the principal yet if this is something of interest...though I can't see how anyone would object.
