Our School Partnership Programs

School Garden Program

We work with schools to establish educational gardens that serve as outdoor classrooms. These gardens provide hands-on learning opportunities while producing fresh, nutritious food for school meals.

  • Garden design and implementation tailored to school needs
  • Provision of tools, seeds, and initial materials
  • Regular support visits from our garden educators
  • Integration with school feeding programs

Teacher Training

We provide comprehensive training for teachers, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to use the garden as an educational tool across multiple subjects.

  • Curriculum integration workshops
  • Practical gardening skills training
  • Environmental education methodologies
  • Ongoing professional development

Curriculum Resources

Our team develops age-appropriate educational materials that help teachers incorporate garden-based learning into their existing curriculum.

  • Lesson plans aligned with national standards
  • Activity guides for different age groups
  • Assessment tools to measure learning outcomes
  • Multilingual resources available

Student Leadership

We foster student ownership and leadership through garden clubs and peer education programs, empowering young people to become environmental stewards.

  • Garden club establishment and support
  • Student leadership training
  • Peer education programs
  • Youth-led community projects

Our school partnerships are designed to be sustainable and community-driven. We work closely with school administrators, teachers, parents, and students to ensure that garden programs meet the specific needs of each school community and can continue to thrive long after our initial support.

We currently partner with over 50 schools across multiple countries in Africa, reaching more than 15,000 students annually. Our goal is to expand to 100 school partnerships by 2026, bringing garden-based education to even more communities.

Environmental Awareness

Gardens foster environmental stewardship, teaching students about ecosystems, biodiversity, and sustainable practices.

What Our School Partners Say

"Our school garden has transformed how we teach science and environmental studies. Students who struggled in traditional classroom settings thrive in the garden, and we've seen improved attendance and engagement across all subjects."

Madame Fatou Diop

Principal, École Primaire de Liberté 6, Senegal

"The garden has become the heart of our school. Not only are students learning valuable skills, but we're also able to supplement our school feeding program with fresh vegetables, improving nutrition for our students."

Mr. Emmanuel Osei

Head Teacher, Akropong Primary School, Ghana

"As a science teacher, I've seen firsthand how the garden brings lessons to life. Concepts like photosynthesis and ecosystems are no longer abstract ideas in a textbook—students can observe and interact with these processes daily."

Ms. Amina Konaté

Science Teacher, Collège Moderne de Cocody, Côte d'Ivoire
