Summer Programs

Summer programs are critically important in the school garden since summer maintenance is often a barrier to success. Active programming with a focus on play, nutrition, and games turns the garden into a summer camp destination, providing healthy outdoor activities for low or no cost.

The goal of the summer programs are a) getting the harvested food in the hands and mouths of those who need it, and b) providing employment to youth with a long-term goal of fostering good green jobs for youth.
