Nutrition Education Program for EVERY Child.

Since our inception in 2013, Independence Gardens have impacted thousands of children in our community through experiential nutrition education programs.  From our organic, edible outdoor learning spaces, to our chef-driven, student-led Come and Eat IT campaign, where children cook along-side chefs, we have connected students to the food they are eating and growing - helping them make healthier food choices.  

Garden to Table is our signature, exclusive event and will fund more outdoor learning spaces, with our goal of having 40 elementary schools in our network within 5 years, impacting over 30,000 students.  With your organization’s help, Independence Gardens will raise $10,000 for the upcoming school year and fund 10 elementary pre-k programs and 2 outdoor learning spaces in our community.  

Thank you for helping us with our campaign!  We look forward to seeing you in October!
