D.I.G: Dwight Englewood in the Garden

Dwight Englewood School now has three vegetable gardens that support programs in the three divisions of the school.  In lower school, garden work and lessons are integrated into the science curriculum.  In middle school, students can elect the practical sustainability class "D.I.G" (Dwight Englewood in the Garden) or join gardening club, and in high school the garden supports projects in various classes, from Latin to Ethnobotany, as well as a cafeteria composting initiative.

Kitchen Kids

 Kitchen Kids is a from scratch cooking class broken into 4 week sessions. Multiple sessions are held at the local Community Center as each class is limited to a 1:5 participant ratio to ensure quality learning. 

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!

Fusion Academy & Learning Center Edible Garden Workshop

As part of the life skills education at Fusion Academy, a Garden-to-Table workshop was initiated over the summer of 2011. The edible garden portion of this workshop gives students a basic introduction to gardening, with an emphasis on ecology and environmental science. For more advanced students, there is the potential to explore topics in plant and cell biology. The other portion of the workshop includes trips to different farmers markets and farms in Orange County, followed up with lessons in the basics of cooking.

Bess Platt Garden

 In 1962, three years before the National Head Start Program was conceived, local nursery school teachers and community leaders started the Nursery School Scholarship Fund (NSSF) to pay the tuition of children from low-income families, allowing them to attend local, private preschools. CAPE originated from that organization. In 1965, CAPE, Inc. received a federal grant to provide Head Start programs in the Tri-Valley area. CAPE, Inc. now serves over 200 children and families at eight different sites in Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin.
