Our Mission
The Youth Garden Project cultivates healthy children, families, and community through educational programs and connecting people with food from seed to table.
The food we grow informs and inspires our educational practice, and also nourishes our community! Find out where the food from our 1.5 acre garden ends up.
We use the garden as a cross-disciplinary learning tool that connects kids to the environment and our local food system! Learn more about our youth programming.
Gardening not only builds soil, it also builds community! A garden nurtures many forms of connection. Learn how you can be a part of our community at the youth garden.
