School Cafeterias

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.

 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!

Project Sprout is a student led effort at Monument Mountain Regional High School to cultivate an organic farm on school grounds that: grows vegetables for the cafeterias of the schools in our district, is used as an educational tool by classes from preK-12th grade, and builds connections with the natural world for all of the students in our community.

We are a collection of school gardens in the Fairfield Public School System.16 of our 17 schools, grades k -12, have organic school gardens of various sizes. Gardens are used for extending classroom lessons and after school clubs. We are just starting to have some of what we grow used in the school cafeterias. We fall under the Fuel for Learning Partnership, PTA Council program,of parent & teacher advocates for improved school lunch and organic school gardens.
