It seems the School Garden Farmer’s Market concept has caught on! And in a very big way for students in Las Vegas. Wow. “The Clark County Government Center will host the largest school garden farmer’s market on Nov. 8 with 400 students from 40 schools participating. Students will run the market themselves, selling school garden-grown fruits, vegetables and herbs as well as crafts.”
This event was made possible by the collaboration between the County Commission, local schools, and the Green Our Planet organization, one of the largest school garden nonprofit organizations. Green Our Planet launched its Outdoor Garden Classroom Program in Las Vegas, Nevada in January 2013. The Outdoor Garden Classroom Program helps public and private schools raise funding for outdoor school gardens where students can learn a variety of subjects including STEAM, health and nutrition. Green Our Planet’s “turn-key” Outdoor Garden Classroom Program is now the largest and one of the most comprehensive school garden programs offered in the United States. Looking for school garden resources? This is definitely a must-visit website!
