"I loved planting the cover crop seeds! "It helped me get a better understanding of how food grows" / "My family loved the veggies I took home after our lesson" / "I liked helping to winterize the garden" / "I can't wait to eat the salad! I'm going to try to get my family to plant our own garden. I should become a vegetarian."
"Thank you for helping us understand the life cycle of the plants. I liked coming out to the garden to see how our radishes were growing." / "The garden is a wonderful way to make so many curricular connections for kids. We use it to teach ecology, math, health, and economics."
"Nothing beats the hands-on aspect of the lesson. The kids were excited and then could definitely relate their experience to the inquiry questions. I only wish they could have longer time.."
Our mission is to empower school communities with gardens and curriculum to engage all students in experiential outdoor education.
Garden To Table is a nonprofit based in Boulder County, Colorado. Launched in 2006, we have been at the forefront of a national movement to use gardens for hands-on experiential academic learning. Students are also participating in the local food cycle, growing and tasting healthy food, practicing ecologically-sound gardening methods, connecting to nature, and engaging in meaningful work with their peers and community. Our vision is a future in which gardens are an integral part of every school community, fostering connections to nature, health and wellness, academic engagement and achievement, and community and environmental stewardship.
