OUR PROJECTS
Additional Modules
As part of the Garden Club Package, schools have the option to add on a selection of learning modules that deepen students’ understanding of food systems, sustainability, and garden stewardship. These modules offer hands-on, inquiry-based experiences that connect directly to curriculum and support students in taking meaningful ownership of their school garden. Classes can choose the modules that best fit their interests, grade level, and learning goals, allowing the garden to become not just a place to grow food, but a place to grow knowledge, leadership, and confidence.
Composting
Students learn what composting is, why it matters, and how it helps create healthy soil. Through hands-on activities, they build a compost mixture and learn how to maintain it at home or at school.
