Platform Breakdown
Curriculum
Our intent is to accommodate a wide variety of learning styles by providing stimulating activities and projects designed for a learning environment.
Exposure to sustainable farming practices expands the role of individuals within our food system beyond consumption, to the production of fresh, healthy and tasty greens. We use this garden-based learning platform to encourage environmental stewardship as we build a society that is more resilient and future that is sustainable. Beyond an introduction to the food growing process, projects and activities are guided by the Sustainable Development Goals set forth by the United Nations
