Living Classroom



Living Classroom partners with schools to expose students from TK - 8th grade to environmental literacy through hands-on garden based lessons in edible and native gardens cultivated at their school. Living Classroom is a full service program, we create and maintain the gardens, provide the curriculum, instruction, and materials to the classroom, and coordinate with teachers and administrators. All lessons are aligned with California Common Core Standards.

Living Classroom would like to thank Jason, a Gr. 10 student at Mountain View High School, for the Eagle Scout project he completed this past Fall. The bench seating that he designed, built and installed at his former school, Imai Elementary, are now being put to good use for our lessons! Pictured above are Gr. 5 students sitting on the new benches and enjoying their Energy Salad in Imai's school garden.

Teacher Testimonial to the School Board

The letter below was written to a school board in a large local school district to advocate for Living Classroom. While we have removed the district's name, Peggy's comments remain a passionate testimonial from a teacher's perspective - of the benefits of Living Classroom for elementary school students. Her comments are authentic and unsolicited - and very much appreciated. 
-Margot Harrigan
Executive Director, Living Classroom
