Why Teachers Love Our Programs?
Growing School and Classroom gardens since 2013
Kids' Growing City had humble beginnings starting as an after-school gardening program in a private school. Since then our main focus has been figuring out the answer to this question:
"What's the most effective way to teach elementary and middle school curricula using gardens as an authentic learning tool?"
And after a decade of working with educators side by side, developing, getting feedback, testing, and fine-tuning programs on the ground, we've got the perfect solution:
A proven 2-phase comprehensive program:
PHASE I: Oasis Classroom
PHASE II: Oasis School or Caja Oasis
Pre-COVID our facilitators grew 15 amazing schools gardens in local schools.
Some of the schools we've worked with throughout the years are...
Redstone p.s., Windham Ridge P.S., Gosford P.S., Island Public/Natural Science School, R J Lang Elementary and Middle School, Don Mills M.S., Pelmo Park P.S., Donald Cousens P.S., Armadale P.S., Hollywood p.s., Beckett Farm P.S., Firgrove p.s., Somerset Academy, Mcmurrich p.s., CMS Private Schools, Richland Academy private school,
just to name a few.
post-COVIDÂ we pivoted and made our 2-phase plan available to teachers online
