Garden learning with 300 students every spring and fall
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
-Alice Waters
Cornucopia Project has been gardening with public and private schools and partner organizations for seventeen years. We want to bring garden learning to you too.
Learning gardens connect children with where their food comes from and with their community. Moreover, through the fun experience of growing and tasting healthy foods, children develop an understanding of and respect for the natural systems that sustain life. Garden learning is a powerful, exciting, inspiring and memorable way for children to explore interdisciplinary topics.
The School Garden Program
Cornucopia Project Educators show school children how to grow food while exploring interdisciplinary studies throughout the growing season.
The school garden program is available to schools and districts in New Hampshire, from preschool through fifth grade.
