School Cafeterias

Pizza Garden

This garden will be created to provide ingredients for tomato sauce to be used by the Food Services team at the South Hadley School System. The location of the garden is the Town Farm. Our project is a pilot and not yet approved by the school. Students and administrators along with the Youth Commissioner are assisting in the development of the garden and the program. We begin planting at the end of April and could use all the support we can get. South Hadley is a town traumatized by a teen suicide several years ago.

Green Bronx Machine

Green Bronx Machine was born of the belief that we are all AMER-I-CANS! Together, we can grow, re-use resource and recycle our way into new and healthy ways of living; complete with self sustaining local economic engines. Inclusively and collectively, each and every member of our society offers a unique perspective with unlimited potential. Together, we can move those who are "apart from" society to become "part of" the driving force behind new solutions benefiting all of us.

Lockeland School Garden

The Lockeland Design Center garden will be comprised of three connected areas: a raised bed food production area, a butterfly garden area, and a school classroom area. The garden is to be located in the back of the school, just outside the cafeteria. This area was chosen for both it’s proximity to an existing water source, and for security as it located within a fenced area.

Lang Ranch Wellness Committee

We just got approved to move forward with our garden. The principal has made it clear that although he likes the garden idea, it's not his top priority. I want to be able to inform teachers about available lesson plans and ideas and get them in our new garden and use it.

FOOD 4 U LUNCH

Food 4 U in the Elementary and Aspen Middle Schools ensures that all students have access to delicious, healthy, seasonal meals in order to grow their bodies, minds and future.  All meals are made from locally grown, sustainable ingredients to the greatest extent possible.  

We also want students to understand the relationship between food, health, nutrition, cultures, environment, and business; the relationship children have with food will evolve into a circle benefiting not just themselves, but society as a whole.

Creating a sustainable organic school garden

We are just begining to create our first school vegetable garden. We are working as a team to create the garden in hopes of moving to a community reform and outreach. We are working toward using collected rainwater and creating compost from school lunches to feed our garden. We are just in the very begining stages.

The Coop School's Rooftop Edible Garden, Brooklyn

 Our edible rooftop garden will be launched in Spring 2012. Each of four pre-K classes will have two planter boxes, one with lettuces, one with herbs. 

Our composting program was launched in January 2012. All lunch scraps are composted in the lunch room using the Bokashi method.

Parents and students will plant together as a Community Event on May 6.

The planters will be fitted with DIY self watering systems, so we hope to be able to sustain the garden through the long hot summer.
