School gardens offer teachers and students a place to connect the food they eat with the land under their feet.
Food grown in a school garden can be used in cooking projects or as a part of a school lunch program. Teachers can take curriculum outside the classroom while staying on site. The garden provides many opportunities to teach math, science, art, ecology, cooperation, and more.

Garden City Harvest’s Community Education Program can provide assistance to schools interested in starting their own garden and how to effectively use school gardens as outdoor classrooms. We also offer a researched and tested curriculum that helps teachers utilize their gardens in every lesson. Interested? Contact our Community Education Director.
