During School Program

What we do
Our during-school program serves students in grades PreK-5 weekly throughout the school year. The program supports curiosity, STEM learning, teamwork, and nutritional health. Each class works together to plan, plant, and tend its own garden. The garden also serves as the inspiration for class projects and experiments, which are guided by students’ questions and interests. Lessons align with OK science standards, and our Garden Educators work with classroom teachers to enhance each school’s science curriculum. Students taste and cook with garden produce, and each class has at least one seed-to-plate experience each year.
Impact
When students eat food they have grown themselves, it supports healthy eating habits and nutrition in the years to come. It also brings their science curriculum into the real world, showing them real-time applications of lessons learned. The program promotes learning engagement and science identity, helping to set students on the path to academic and life success.
