What's Growing

Collective Roots works with children, youth and adults to design and sustain organic gardens on school and community sites. These sites are linked with kindergarten through twelfth grade curriculum that meets California state science standards as well as health and nutrition curriculum that promotes school, community and state health/nutrition goals.

We engage residents and stakeholders in a full-scale initiative to increase access to fresh, local, healthy and affordable produce. Some of our accomplishments include:

Collective Roots is growing and building partnerships that are resulting in new garden sites that provide garden based learning and benefits to hundreds of school children and community members at multiple sites.

Thanks to a generous grant from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention, Collective Roots has created a comprehensive set of resources for planting, growing and maintaining fruit trees in the Bay Area and teaching about the importance of fresh fruit .

We are working on making the rest of our curriculum accessible online.  Please check back with us soon, or email to find out about curriculum resources you can access by visiting our Collective Roots office library.
