Schoolyard Gardens Program
Groundwork Somerville offers year-round garden-based education to children from kindergarten to eighth grade, in all of the city’s eight public elementary and middle schools, a public charter school, and a public library. In both in-school and after-school programs, children learn to plan, plant, tend, and harvest from their own school gardens. They cook with food they have grown. They learn biology, chemistry, math, English, and social studies in a practical, hands-on laboratory. The school gardens have all been built with volunteer labor, and most are located on sites that were previously paved or abandoned.
