The Village Campus garden program at HPA works to teach students in grades K-8 about their place and foods grown locally and sustainably on Hawaii island. The goal is to get kids out of the classroom and into nature to better understand, respect, and care for the natural world. Students learn seed to table practices, market gardening, and how to extend their learning in the garden all while connection to the land, or 'aina.
Our school is being rebuilt so we are starting from scratch to build an Urban Gardening program. We want students to understand the future depends on caring citizens making environmentally sound decisions so we will start with one little classroom at a time.
