Join us in building connected communities through school gardens! These spaces not only provide access to fresh, nutritious food but also serve as a gathering point where community members can connect, contribute, and feel valued. By engaging families in shared growing and learning experiences, schools build stronger relationships, promote cultural exchange, and empower voices that are often marginalized—making inclusion a lived practice, not just a policy.
WHAT WE OFFER
Common Ground Spokane partners with local schools to support the development and maintenance of school gardens. Our team connects schools with educational resources, garden design assistance, and ongoing support to ensure the success of each garden.
Community Involvement
These gardens are not just for students. We welcome community involvement in our garden projects. Individuals and organizations can contribute by volunteering their time, donating supplies, or sponsoring specific garden initiatives. Together, we can create vibrant outdoor learning spaces for students and the community.
