Idea Profile
  | Gardens in Every Schoolevery school yard will have a garden, growing herbs, and vegetables. They will learn food/health/environmental education in their classes tied in with the work they do on the garden. The school food will be from local farmers, featured chefs from local montreal restos who volunteer their time, and the students will learn how to cook using the food they have grown. This has been a very successful model in the US, starting with the Edible School yard in San Francisco- it is a movement that all parents, teachers and change makers should be a part of

Wow. This is a super cool idea. I read more about it here: http://www.edibleschoolyard.org/. I am wondering if you've thought about how this might work as a business. Have you thought about that aspect? As I am writing this I'm wondering if it may be a way to teach kids about entrepreneurship as well. At my son's school they ran a restaurant for a while and they learned all about planning a menu, hiring employees, managing teams, marketing, and customers. He found it really interesting and I loved that they were teaching these skills along with academics. |

I work in Primary schools around Nottingham and this would take very little to put into practice- although I would caution against making it school led, as teachers have enough to do already- better to provide it as an externally led project that visits regularly and provide the initial tools, resources, know how and enthusiasm something as important as this would need- the schools would raise the cash to keep it going, as only schools know how!

1.find private funders rather than grants that are unreliable from year to year. Start a mission based organization with a clear vision for a sustainable food system that ensures community food security. 2. Not have it be "school led", but business led, where the school is for recruitment for a summer program. they remain involved during the year through internships and advocacy in the community. |

I really love gardens and everything they have to offer us and I decided to start my own business in vegetables industry. I also use some safety signs because it makes my entire work easier. |

This a great idea. When I was in highschool, everything was so green. We were fortunately to live in an area where is the biggest park in the whole city. |
