edible schoolyard projects

In the mountain communities of western Colorado, we have come to understand that in order to allow students to experience the growing of food plants from seed through harvest within one school year, we must either change the academic calendar to run from February through November, or to build greenhouses at schools.  We are proud to partner with two school districts, a network of public and private donors, and our sister non-profit organizations Fat City Farmers and the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute, to foster the creation of organic gardens and greenhouses, and to help integrate sustainable permaculture principles into science curriculum at a growing number of schools in our region.  What about your schools?
