Last week several dreams were fulfilled as a new community no-till nature based garden was installed. The dream of a dear friend of many, Theresa Drost, was realized as children joyfully prepared the land to begin a new garden where families will come together to grow food and community. The dream of Family Network who envisions their families and neighborhood strolling through the garden picki...

Second graders at South Elementary had an amazing time in their school garden. They explored and tasted a variety of produce, discovering how the plants they started as first graders had fully grown and were ready to harvest! They were surprised to learn that some flowers are edible like nasturtium which has a slightly spicy taste. The students also practiced their math skills by gathering and ...

We had an unforgettable evening in the garden, celebrating the beauty and flavors of heirloom tomatoes and refreshing mocktails (non-alcoholic) crafted by mixologist Michael Bryan, featuring fresh herbs from the gardens. Guests delighted in an Heirloom Tomato Tasting, savoring and comparing a variety of flavorful heirloom tomatoes grown at H.O.P.E Gardens. They also enjoyed fresh hors d'oeuvres...

‘I’m growing food at home!’ We were happy to hear that several families are gardening at home. There were glees of excitement as kids showed their parents their garden at Parkview Elementary Open House. The tour began with a fruit salsa tasting and a book of kid friendly recipes. Before entering the garden families were greeted by Mr. Hornworm who had just taken a trip from Godfrey Lee Middle g...

Oriole Park families stopped by for a fruit salsa tasting and and a kid friendly cookbook before making their way for a stroll through the school garden finding surprises along the way, like the tiny cucamelon plant weaving its way in the trellis above them, offering the cutest little fruit that looks like a watermelon but tastes like a cucumber. One student was offered a tomato but emphaticall...

For “winter sowing”, we plant seeds in milk jugs or other semi-transparent plastic containers. Placed outside in January or February, these mini-greenhouses expose seeds to the cold temperatures that some wildflowers and other perennials need to experience before germinating.

This month, our students in Wyoming Public STEAM classes are receiving a lesson called ‘Gimme Some Space’ During our lesson students realized that, like themselves, plants have different likenesses and differences that a gardener needs to be aware of. They were able to recall from previous lessons that plants need sun, soil, water and air but this week realized that in order to grow properly pl...

Fall is the perfect time to feed the soil, and of course, jump into a pile of leaves!

Wow! We were thrilled to see how quickly middle schoolers installed their no-till garden at Godfrey Lee Middle/High School! Listen in as they encourage each other with fun chants and laughter!

Kids could be seen munching on freshly picked kale, cucumelon and a ‘sunshine salad’ consisting of spinach, cucumber, peppers and mandarine oranges. Students learned the value of gardening as they weighed and discovered the savings of growing their own organic produce.

Our Godfrey Lee Middle school TEAM 21 garden students not only have green thumbs, but they also have big hearts. They carefully selected herbs and prepared thoughtful cards for senior citizens at the Wyoming Senior Center. We delivered the beautiful herb planters during weekly BINGO.

Middle schoolers at Godwin Heights installed their new regenerative garden in the fall. They were eager to plant this spring. When asked how they felt about the experience, one girl said this will be her legacy.
