DescSchool Garden Support and Youth Programming: Denver Urban Gardens works in partnership with Denver Public Schools, Jefferson County Public Schools, Aurora Public Schools, Englewood Public Schools and Douglas County Public Schools, to establish community gardens at schools. Of DUG's 180 community gardens, 65 are located on the grounds of schools, with one to three new school gardens in various stages of planning each year. DUG is committed to supporting each community garden in ways appropriate to that garden's particular needs, including developing a partnership between the school community and surrounding neighbors to strengthen garden sustainability. Through the wonders of a garden, students experience hands-on lessons in: health, earth and life sciences, math, literacy, social science and community building.Denver Urban Gardens' resources and programming in school garden and nutrition education include: Helping Kids Get Healthy: A Workshop Series For Youth Educators: This ongoing workshop series is designed for teachers and volunteers; Healthy Bodies, Healthy Gardens Curriculum: builds a bridge between the school garden and the classroom by using seasonally appropriate and standards-aligned lessons; Garden to Cafeteria: opportunity for students to grow fresh fruits and vegetables in their school gardens with the aim of supplying some of their harvest to the school cafeterias to be used at lunch service; Healthy Seedlings: a 3rd-5th grade program consisting of 14 hands-on lessons each year. Lessons utilize the school-based community garden as a learning environment;School Garden Cultivator Volunteer Program: our work in school gardens is enhanced when it is supported by a committed group of volunteers, which might include on-site community gardeners, parents, grandparents or neighbors; Youth Farm Stands: In partnership with Slow Food Denver, Denver Urban Gardens works with local schools to coordinate youth-run farm stands.Desc
