Our Mission

Seeds to Plate is committed to Connecting students to nature through outdoor education and encouraging healthy choices in food, life habits, and environmental conservation. 

Our program uses the natural world to give students a hands-on, immersive, innovative learning experience that fosters community and a deeper understanding of their academic subjects.

We accomplish this mission through:.

• Providing garden-based lessons integrating agriculture, nutrition, and environmental awareness into academic lessons

• Collaborating with teachers to engage their classes on a weekly basis with these garden-based lessons

• Providing students the opportunity to learn how to grow and prepare food from the garden during recess, lunch, and after school.

• Encouraging students to understand their role in the ecosystem through composting, recycling, and upcycling resources, alongside growing, harvesting, and preparing produce.

• Engaging families in maintaining the garden and learning to prepare garden vegetables in monthly garden workdays.
