Description

Classroom in Bloom is a non-profit organization established to enrich education through school gardening for K-12 students in the Methow Valley School District of Okanogan County, WA.

The centerpiece of our effort is a 2-acre, student-led garden. Through this creative space we offer experiential, inquiry-based learning opportunities and teach art, natural history and science education. We cultivate an understanding of sustainable food systems and foster a love of fresh and nourishing foods. We do this through hands-on learning in our school garden where we promote stewardship of the natural environment and empower kids to eat fresh food they grew with their own two hands!

In partnership with the Okanogan School Garden NetworkClassroom in Bloom works with students and student-led gardens at every elementary school throughout Okanogan County.  Together we are breaking barriers as we reframe the future of school meals, increase nutritional snacks with garden produce, host professional trainings, and implement Farm to School programs that help meet the needs of every child in rural Title I schools.

Our students at the Methow Valley School District harvested over 5,250 pounds of produce last year which children ate straight from the garden as nutritious snacks, donated to the school as ingredients for school lunches, and gave to the community during the height of our summer harvest season.
