School Programming

Plant Lifecycle + Food System Focus

We offer afterschool and in-school programming that teaches the entire food system to students, so they get a holistic view of where their food comes from. They also engage in every step of the plant lifecycle, learning the art and science of nurturing plants for culitvation. Our school curriculum and programs can be adapted for all grade levels.

FEATURED SCHOOL PROJECT

Longfields Elementary School

We installed a raised bed garden and a hydroponic lab within a science classroom at this Prince George's County elementary school. We're facilitating afterschool programming with their "Green Club" to maintain the growing systems and teach our holistic garden wellness curriculum.
