Our mission at Global Gardens is to empower low-income students to be agents of change in their own lives and communities through inquiry-based science and peace education. We believe helping students create a garden is a way not only to assist them in learning about science, health and the environment, but also to challenge them to become caring, forward-thinking and confident individuals.
TRANSFORMING LIVES
We serve over 2,500 people at five sites in Tulsa with during school, after school, and summer programs. We also facilitate two on-site community gardens specifically for families. Join our volunteer team and help us better serve those in our community.
“Above all, working with the students taught us the value of celebrating small victories, of committing to a task whole-heartedly and of the peace and accomplishment to be found in the garden.”
– Jenni, After School Volunteer
HELP US GROW
Global Gardens is a 501(c)3 status non-profit organization. Our work is made possible through a supportive community and funded completely by donations and grants. Donations are tax deductible.
OUR METHODS
We teach an all-encompassing curriculum that connects the garden with other disciplines and allows students to connect the garden to both school learning and real life experiences, and we encourage the use of the garden as a central gathering and meeting place for the community.
