Growing Gardens Youth Programs

The ¡Cultiva! Youth Project (ages 11-19)
¡Cultiva! is a youth operated organic market garden. Participants will plant and nurture a 2 acre garden, harvest the produce weekly to sell at the Boulder County Farmers' Market, and donate a portion of what is harvested to those in need in the local community. Through this project, youth will learn to care for and protect the environment, will learn how to operate a small business, and will take part in a variety of activities which create positive change for the community, the environment, and youth themselves.

The Children’s Peace Garden (ages 4 - 10)
In the Children's Peace Garden, children learn about the source of the food that they eat, nutritional value of vegetables and the fundamentals of organic gardening practices. They experience activities and games designed to encourage peace, respect, environmental stewardship, and friendship.

The Children's Peace Garden offers spring and fall field trips and classroom visits for preschool and elementary school groups as well as an After School Garden Club and five weeks of Summer Camp.
