Sow and Grow Scholars
The Sow and Grow Scholar program, a Nourish Syracuse initiative, is designed to introduce students to urban agriculture and healthy eating through hands-on learning. Our program turns gardening and growing food into an exciting, educational activity that helps students understand where their food comes from and how it benefits their health. As part of our Farm to School approach, we partner with local farmers to bring fresh ingredients into the classroom, teaching kids how these foods are grown and the importance of nutrition. Through Sow and Grow Scholars, students will learn the basics of gardening, from planting seeds to caring for plants and harvesting fresh produce. They’ll gain valuable skills in teamwork, responsibility, and environmental care while building healthy habits for life bodies but also their minds.
Helping Hands Community Gardens
Our 'Helping Hands' community gardens program is at the heart of our mission. These spaces are not just about growing food; they're about growing a sense of community. We invite everyone to participate, learn, and contribute to the vibrant green spaces we are creating.
Backyard Bloomers
Backyard Bloomers is a flourishing at-home garden program designed to bring the beauty of nature right to your doorstep. Whether you have a spacious backyard or a cozy balcony, our program invites individuals and families to become proud cultivators of their own green oasis. Backyard Bloomers is more than just a gardening initiative; it's a journey of nurturing, growth, and connecting with the land.
