We work with schools and youth-serving organizations to create school-day and after-school garden programs that are high-impact, hands-on, and fun! Students dig in with seeds, seedlings, and garden work and are challenged to think critically about issues of social and environmental justice, self-sufficiency, and ecological sustainability. Importantly, they have opportunities to help alleviate hunger and give back to their communities.

We are available to create on-site programs, or to mentor and provide technical assistance to teachers interested in garden-based education. And we can help connect garden programs to the Maine Learning Results and ensure that the garden is an integral part of the learning environment.
