School Programs

Schools that bring classes of students to volunteer at the farm can arrange to have Garden Harvest staff tailor the content of the volunteer orientation to perfectly complement classroom instruction.

For example, if the school curriculum has included class discussions on the preservation of the Chesapeake Bay, Garden Harvest can speak about the impact of conventional farmers’ fertilization practices on the health of that body of water, and elaborate upon the reasons why the specific sustainable fertilization methods practiced by Garden Harvest serves to promote the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  This orientation would then be immediately followed by a related volunteer activity which, in this case, would include the specific fertilization practices just discussed. This is just one example of the way in which Garden Harvest works with area Educators to enhance and broaden their students' classroom learning.
