Classroom in Bloom inspires children to grow healthy food and connect with nature

Who We Are 2.jpg

Classroom in Bloom is a community garden, built to inspire Methow Valley children to live a healthy lifestyle, make healthy choices, and eat healthy food. Our Farm-to-Cafeteria program teaches about sustainable food systems that support our agricultural community, providing experiential, inquiry-based learning opportunities and a place-based sense of wonder.  Our school garden produces thousands of pounds of produce each year, donated to the schools’ cafeterias, weekly to students as healthy snacks, and to summer camp participants.
