Some Information About Our School Gardens Project

Slow Food USA’s School Gardens Network aims to reconnect youth with their food by teaching them how to grow, cook and enjoy real food. Through increased confidence, knowledge gain and skill building, we want to empower children to become active participants in their food choices. By becoming informed eaters, today’s children will help make positive impact on the larger world of food and farming well into the future.

The goal of our chapter’s School Gardens Project is to support educators, volunteers and garden leaders to help build sustainable school gardens in our community. We work with 8-10 gardens in Sonoma County every year by providing:

• resources and references (books, websites, organizations, tools, supplies, materials, curriculum, grant information, etc.)

• volunteer assistance

• Ark of Taste seeds, transplants, and educational signage

• annual Open House at one of our gardens

• reimbursement of up to $100 per garden for garden-related expenses

• participation in Plant a Seed Program

• annual gift of a garden related item (e.g., book, tool, curriculum)

• Slow Food Curriculum Good and Clean (Fair is in progress)

Our project collaborates with Master Gardeners of Sonoma County Youth Garden Project, Sonoma County School Garden Network, and the Permaculture Design Program. We have granted additional funds for special projects such as irrigation.
