School Gardens
Where Seeds of Change Blossom into Thriving Futures
More than a classroom
Imagine a classroom not confined by four walls and desks but a living, breathing ecosystem where students become farmers, cooks, scientists, and stewards of the planet. At Allpa Mama, we partner with schools to create garden classrooms that do just that.
The Garden Classroom:
Students become empowered and nurturing, experience joy, grow up healthy and free from illness, and manage stress and emotions effectively. This hands-on experience sparks curiosity, fosters creativity, and integrates seamlessly into the school curriculum, ensuring children develop valuable skills that will prepare them for future success.
Curriculum and Lesson Plans:
Spark a love of learning and witness your students thrive with the Green Bronx Machine curriculum or the Tower Garden lesson plans. Our project-based learning (PBL) uses the wonder of plant life to teach many subjects, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Imagine the joy and pride your students will experience as they cultivate their ecosystem, empowering them to become responsible and curious learners. Yes, we help homeschoolers and parents achieve the same success as our classroom gardens,
Our Mission
We believe in the power of school gardens: spaces where students connect with plants, science, and each other. Through partnerships with Tower Garden and the Green Bronx Machine, we help you provide hands-on learning experiences that increase:
Nutrition and health: Fresh produce grown right in the classroom fosters healthy eating habits and combats food insecurity.
Environmental awareness: Students become responsible stewards of the planet, learning about sustainability and healthy ecosystems.
Learning achievements: Garden classrooms provide engaging, project-based learning that boosts critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic performance.
Life skills: Students develop valuable teamwork, communication, and leadership skills through collaborative gardening and cooking activities.
Students cannot achieve greatness without you!
