Education

 

We believe that every student deserves the opportunity to learn about where their food comes from. Through our educational programs, we equip students with the knowledge they need to take care of themselves, the natural world around them, and their community through food.

The positive impacts that outdoor and garden learning have on overall wellbeing are abundant. Learning in gardens and outdoor classrooms encourages creative thinking, social development, and a connection with the environment. Gardening provides an engaging way for students to use their bodies and minds through hands-on, exploratory learning. When students learn how to grow food themselves, they are more receptive to eating fruits and vegetables.
