Mission Statement

Our mission is to create programs that utilize gardens to inspire community building, problem solving, and stewardship rather than just growing food. We reimagine school and community gardens alongside our partners. We want to integrate holistic learning and STEAM education as well as innovative entrepreneurship programs in a dynamic way across K-12 education. We desire to incorporate the community-at-large into the work by opening the gardens to families and community members to learn about environmental stewardship, eco-justice, and healthy living practices through gardening, nature, and cooking workshops.

Description

Founded in 2020, we are small, but quickly expanding nonprofit dedicated to STEAM environmental education. We run programs in cities and in our five partner schools. We have a robust K-12 program partnering with project based learning curriculum in each grade. Our team dedicates themselves to partnering with the communities we work in, rehabbing and building vegetable gardens and pollinator habitats. We have over 1500 students in our programs, city-wide pollinator education initiative in Monrovia, and are rapidly growing.
