Program areas at Big Green
Big Green provides modular, experiential learning gardens and flexible mini-grants for schools across the country to launch or expand their garden programs. Learning gardens are an extension of the classroom and an enhancement to the school playground and they are designed to be a place kids want to play in and teachers want to teach in, thereby creating a long-term, positive investment for the school and community.
Little Green gardens/big Green at home (rebranded to million gardens), and in combination with plant a seed day, are Big Green's home garden programs. Million gardens program provides home garden beds,grow bags and related programming that is intended to support people growing food at home.
Plant a seed day is a vehicle to spread Big Green's mission and message to the masses whether they have a learning garden or not. It's a way for us to expand our reach and teach even more people the power and the joy of growing their own real food. Plant a seed day is a massive day of action and a call-to-arms that rallies people to stand up and say "the next generation deserves a better food system,then do something about it.
