For Teachers
We encourage Grand County educators to utilize the Youth Garden Project campus to engage their students in outdoor learning. Our multiple outdoor classroom spaces can be used for existing classroom lessons to be taught in a new environment, for new standards-based lessons to be designed and led by YGP educators in collaboration with teachers, for service opportunities, and so much more.
Scroll down to learn more, reserve space for your classes, and collaborate with the YGP team to take full advantage of outdoor learning this school year!
Reserve a Space
Grand County and Moab Charter School teachers are always welcome to bring their students to the garden and use the space as an outdoor classroom. Please use the online reservation calendar below to check for available teaching spaces, see what else may be happening at the garden at the same time, and make a reservation.
PS – Since the garden exists on GCSD property, no field trip slips are required to take your students to the Youth Garden Project!
Request a Lesson
The Youth Garden Project is happy to work with teachers to design and lead free, standards-based lessons for your students. Past examples have included cooking workshops for GCHS Food Science classes, a lesson on selective breeding for 7th grade Science students, garden poetry lessons for 7th grade English, and more!

“[The instructors] were knowledgeable, clear, communicative, engaging, patient, adaptable, and professional. I was impressed by everyone.”
