Living Classroom - Garden-Based Education for TK-8th graders
Living Classroom's mission is to make education come alive and to empower the next generation by growing environmental champions, inquisitive learners, and healthy eaters who know where their food comes from. Our goal is to inspire children to learn about and to value the natural world through garden- based education. Our 50+ engaging, hands-on, Next Generation Science Standards-aligned lessons stimulate curiosity and are taught in beautiful and educational school gardens that we create and maintain.

We learned to sanitize just about anything we touched and to wear masks around everyone outside our home and to connect with colleagues, friends and family by ZOOM meeting or FaceTime.

West Valley Community Services greatly appreciated the donation and noted that their demand is huge right now. Living Classroom gardens have donated 235pounds of produce to local community service agencies since the shelter in place order was issued last March. Click here for more information |
