The Edible Classroom is a non-profit organization serving the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, area that partners with schools and communities to create and sustain learning gardens where children, families, and communities engage with nutritious food from seed to table.
Your donation is tax-deductible and goes toward helping fund The Edible Classroom’s many programs in our schools and communities.
Community Impact of a School Garden
As we partner with schools to create school gardens, discovery-based experiential learning opportunities abound for students. The school garden naturally becomes a resource for increased STEM education, access to healthy foods, and outdoor opportunities that promote good health. As collaboration with each school community develops, the school garden becomes an on-site greenspace that provides environmental education to the broader community.
