Two Decades in the Making

After 20 years of seeing the value of experiential garden education for our participants, we began to dream about a way to share this model with more schools.

Thanks to a 2021 grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), we set out to create the School Garden Handbook, making our Intensive Garden Program model accessible to schools anywhere so they can start or enhance their own local programs.
