Our Gardens
Our School Gardens
Our school gardens are used as an outdoor classroom where our garden educators provide standards-based curriculum to students Kindergarten through fifth grade. Garden lessons include planting, counting, measuring, observing, recording, creating, comparing, and (everyone's favorite) cooking!
Each school has a student-grown, student-led cooking experience once a semester. Students learn food prep skills and get to taste their own recipe!

Our Community Gardens
21st Century Community Garden
515 South 12th Street in downtown Gadsden
Open Thursdays 9:00-11:00
We manage the gardens here year-round to make fresh produce available for free to neighbors of the garden. Join us each Thursday for first-hand growing experience and to share in the harvest.
Encompass Health Rehabilitation Garden
We maintain a vegetable garden in the courtyard of the rehab center, creating a greener space for patients and health providers alike. We gather in the garden every other week during a time we call "Mend & Tend" to discuss what is growing and share garden knowledge with each other.
