  • “Our school garden is an incredibly rich learning environment where kids can wonder and explore. They not only learn about healthy eating, but they understand the importance of true collaboration with one another, and about the impact of their actions on the land. It's real-world learning.”

    -Ms. Williams, Rockdale Elementary Principal

  • “During this pandemic, GSF continues to teach my 3rd grader virtually about the importance of plants and that he could grow his own food while at home. We believe it's vital for Rockdale to continue this program for the wellbeing of their students.”

    -Laishan Ito, parent at Rockdale Elementary

  • “It is clear that the entire Annalee community enjoys the garden because you will often times find someone either taking care of the garden or just simply ‘taking in’ the sight of it."

    - Ms. Jackson, Annalee Elementary Assistant Principal
