Cultivating young minds
Explore our educational garden programs at three local schools, where we're sowing seeds of knowledge and growth. At Keep Growing Dreams, we believe in nurturing not just plants, but also the potential within each child.
Ladd Acres Elementary Garden Program
At Ladd Acres Elementary our garden program focuses on hands-on learning experiences that connect students with nature. From planting seeds to harvesting vegetables, students learn about the life cycle of plants, sustainable gardening practices, and the importance of healthy eating. We integrate cultural elements into the garden, celebrating the diversity of our students and their heritages.
Butternut Creek Elementary Garden Program
The garden program at Butternut Creek Elementary emphasizes teamwork and environmental stewardship. Students collaborate on garden projects, learning valuable communication and problem-solving skills. We teach about composting, water conservation, and other eco-friendly practices. The garden serves as an outdoor classroom where students can apply what they learn in science, math, and other subjects.
Hope Chinese Charter School BloomUnity Program
