Garden School Foundation

Mission Statement: Garden School Foundation provides in-depth garden-based education to youth in Los Angeles, strengthening connections between food justice, environmental stewardship, and community health. By using the full transformative potential of school gardens as teaching sites we nurture a healthy and mindful generation of children that care for their bodies, their communities, and the earth. As part of our Seed to Table program, kinder through 5th-Grade students alternate between science-based gardening and nutritional cooking classes. Classes are every other week with daily recess access to the garden and various after school garden clubs. We currently serve eight Title I elementary schools, reaching over 3,000 students and their families each year.
