​"We started gardening together 10 years ago, in our children's kindergarten class.  Since then, our collaboration has grown into a dynamic 501(c)(3) with a robust TK-8 curriculum that encourages all kids to explore the important connections between healthy food, a vibrant community, and environmental responsibility.  Our team of educators work in schools of all sizes and can customize our program to meet your needs.  If you are interested in outdoor education, we'd love to speak with you."


​We love what we do and welcome the opportunity to discuss teaching at your school.
