At Seeds of Equity, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive through hands-on outdoor education. We believe that community gardens should not be a privilege but rather a powerful learning resource that provides equitable access to school gardens for all students. By creating meaningful garden-based experiences, we support academic growth, promote healthy habits, and foster a lifelong connection to the environment.
