Create a Garden

Inspire a Generation

We love school gardens! They are joyous spaces that provide countless, lasting benefits for both children and their families, such as:

Boosting nutrition: School gardens increase opportunities for children and their families to access and eat more locally grown fruits and vegetables.
Promoting physical activity: Gardening naturally improves children’s daily physical activity levels through active, hands-on outdoor tasks.
Fostering community connections: The collaborative environment strengthens social interactions among classmates, teachers, families, and the broader community.
Integrating holistic learning: As versatile educational tools, gardens seamlessly connect academic subjects with practical life skills like growing, harvesting, and cooking food.
Supporting diverse learners: For students with diverse learning needs, outdoor gardens can provide essential, hands-on learning spaces that engage all five senses, enhance engagement and help all students thrive.

Join us today in creating gardens that foster a healthier, more active, and deeply engaged generation of children—empowering every child to reach their full potential. Please explore some donation options below to see how you can help supply the materials and tools young growers need to thrive.

Help Supply a School with Seeds ($25)

Help a class watch their hard work come to life. This amount could provide students with approximately 5 packs of various organic, non-GMO vegetable seeds. Giving kids the opportunity to plant a seed and watch it grow!

Help Provide a School with Basic Garden Tools ($250)

Equip young growers with the essentials. This amount could fund a starter kit of vital school garden tools, including shovels, forks, rakes, hand trowels, garden hoses, and watering cans, allowing a whole class to work together.

Help Start a School Garden ($500)

Help create accessible garden spaces. This amount could fund four large, 4ft x 8ft raised garden beds. These elevated structures create highly accessible, inclusive, and collaborative planting spaces for multiple student groups.

Help Build a Garden Shelter or Shed ($600)

Fund a garden bed and a supporting structure. This amount could fund one raised garden bed and the building materials for a permanent garden shelter or shed — protecting plants in the winter and providing students with a dry, rainy-day classroom.

With over 14,000 schools across Canada, imagine the incredible impact we can have if we all work together. By supporting school gardens, we can inspire a generation and bring benefits to thousands of children and families, from coast to coast. Thank you for your support!
