Kids in the Garden

Inspire your students to know and understand the food system through engaging and experiential lessons.

Done in your school garden, skilled facilitators will support teachers in making curriculum connections to the garden.  

We lead seasonally appropriate lessons with students, and help make sure your school garden is well maintained.

Lessons will cover the full growing cycle from planting to composting, and may include:

• Fall – harvesting the bounty and the art of saving seeds
• Winter – seed starting, winter working worms, and water conservation
• Spring – planning and planting, bugs, edible flowers and more

We will work with your teachers to make sure the garden becomes a powerful extension to the classroom.

The Kids in the Garden program is a series of 10 sessions throughout the school year.  We will schedule those ten sessions with your school, and will work with three classes each day.

The program fee is $3000/ school/ year.  Contact us to sign up!
