Farm and Garden School Programs

Berkshire Botanical Garden brings hands-on garden programming to schools and community partners, both during and after school. The year round curriculum offered to students allows them to engage in work within their school garden and make meaningful connections to the natural world. Each program is uniquely designed to meet the needs and interests of the school community- students explore a wide range of topics, such as food systems, plant and ecosystem science, garden-based cooking and crafts, and composting. The Farm and Garden program aims to empower students to take ownership of their work through gardening, as well as foster a sense of community between students through social-emotional learning. For more information on how to bring Farm and Garden programming to your school or site, please contact BBG’s Director of Education, Bridgette Stone bstone@berkshirebotanical.org.
