Druid City Garden Project

We dream that one day every school in Alabama will have a teaching garden. A garden provides direct access to healthy, fresh food for students as well as an unparalleled opportunity for experiential education in critical subject areas.

Using our unique curriculum, we teach a hands-on science- and math-based education to Kindergarteners through 5th graders. Every week during the school year, students explore science by participating in our outdoor teaching tool – the garden. Students dissect carrots to learn about tap roots, they multiply recipes to understand fractions, they go on math-based scavenger hunts to unfold the secrets of the garden, and so much more.

When we begin our programs at a school, we focus on sustainability. We work with each school for 2-3 years, installing a garden, training educators on the program, and running professional development so that, ultimately, the school will take over the program on their own.
