Goals

Develop science-based community garden spaces, where the community has ownership of the implementation, progress, and maintenance of the garden.

Encourage the use of the garden as a central gathering and meeting place for the community.

Teach an all-encompassing curriculum that connects the garden with other disciplines and allows students to connect the learning in the garden to both school learning and real life experiences.

Establish local, national, and international connections with students through the Internet, based on growing and eating food, and various cultural practices involving plants.

Mission Statement

Global Gardens is dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty and empowering low-income students to become agents of change in their communities through inquiry-based science and peace education.

"If our garden can be a peaceful place, then our schools will be peaceful, then our community, then our city, then our country, then our continent...and then that peace will spread to the whole world!" - fifth grade student
