About the Program:
SMARTS Farm: transformed vacant parking lot now a thriving communicty garden and education hub in downtown San Diego.
Humane Smarts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in the heart of East Village, San Diego. Our mission is to offer opportunities for creativity and self-sufficiency, particularly to young people. The majority of our programs take place at SMARTS Farm, the vacant lot we transformed last spring into a thriving community garden and educational hub for youth and adults.
We have a number of children's programs - providing opportunities for inquiry, observation, and experimentation:
• Culinary classes, teaching young cooks that nutritious can be delicious
• Garden Exploration classes, encouraging wonder at the natural world
• Puppet making for youngsters; puppet story writing for older youths
• PhotoSmarts programs, helping budding photographers to view things anew
