Garden Based Education

Youth

Bellevue Farms garden-based education for youth grades pre-k-High school is expanding! In partnership with Bellevue Prevention and Outreach Center, we are delivering alternative education that builds skill-sets, exposes youth to career opportunities, encourages healthy lifestyle choices, and incorporates social-emotional learning for mental health and prevention of drug and alcohol use. Bellevue Farms offers age appropriate curricula and includes certification opportunities in Junior Master Gardeners™. We offer opportunities year-round. During Bellevue Summer Camp, all 4-5 graders will participate in and receive certification in Learn, Grown, Eat, and Go™ by JMG ™, a program that provides garden experience, nutritional education, and physical activity. 

Adults

In partnership with New Castle Conservation District, we are excited to bring you the 2nd Grow It Yourself gardening workshop series. Our first Grow It Yourself was held online due to the pandemic, but we hope to deliver adult learning opportunities in-person in a safe and effective manner. Our workshops benefit the beginner and seasoned gardener. In addition, there will be content provided to folks wanting to learn how to start and maintain community gardens in their neighborhoods.
