Activity 2

The Urban Harvest Youth Education Program currently in 18 Houston area schools reaches over 3,000 students a year. School gardens are effective teaching tools for experiential learning and serve as outdoor classrooms that provide students with a hands-on approach that applies and reinforces math, science and nutrition. Students are more motivated and inspired; they gain knowledge about good nutrition and how to grow their own produce; and they will become future advocates for greener cities.Urban Harvest offers more than 100 adult classes on a year round basis in topics from organic gardening to rainwater harvesting to sustainability and permaculture. This comprehensive gardening education program is geared for everyone including the new gardener, the community gardener, the seasoned grower and the professional seeking continuing education requirements. The knowledgeable instructors provide both classroom and hands-on experiences to support a vibrant, local food system.

Activity 3

Urban Harvest sponsors a farmers market program to provide Houstonians with year round access to local, healthy food and nutrition education. The market offers a venue for family farms and small producers from the local area to introduce what they grow while encouraging a vibrant, sustainable food system. The program includes a free children's gardening series.
