Our Organization

Vision: School Garden Project is committed to a future in which all children become knowledgeable, healthy adults who understand the basics of growing food, can apply science principles to garden ecosystems, steward the natural world, eat fruits and vegetables, and contribute to a thriving community.
Mission: We advance our vision by helping Lane County schools develop onsite vegetable gardens where we teach children standards-based science and the basics of growing food, using the garden as an outdoor laboratory. We also provide material and curriculum resources; professional development for educators; volunteer recruiting and training; and maintenance support to sustain and expand educational gardens throughout our region and beyond.

Our Programs

Strategic programs achieve multiple outcomes with one intervention. That’s what defines School Garden Project’s in-school education program. With critical community financial and volunteer support, School Garden Project delivers standards-based curriculum that improves science knowledge, introduces gardening concepts, encourages physical activity, and helps children learn to love vegetables.

Contribute to a thriving community!

Volunteers help our programs thrive! Individual volunteers are needed for in-school programs, event planning and outreach, and various support tasks. Businesses and community groups are encouraged to plan ‘day of service’ events to assist with routine garden maintenance throughout the year.
