The Edible Schoolyard, started by local food pioneer Alice Waters, in collaboration with Martin Luther King Junior Middle School, engages 950 public school students in a one-acre organic garden and a kitchen classroom. Using food as a unifying concept, students learn how to grow, harvest, and prepare nutritious seasonal produce.  The model for school and community gardens nationwide.

New England Heritage Breeds Conservancy has designed a fully-illustrated curriculum, primarily for K-8th grades.  Twenty-eight entertaining and informative lesson plans discuss in detail the way that food reaches our tables, from "Poultry in Motion" to "The Whole Hog" and "Grocery Bag Geography".  However, "Farm to Table" is not limited to the classroom; it is also adaptable for home schooling programs, youth clubs, summer camps, and for anyone interested in learning more about where their food comes from.

The Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation uses field trips, tours and hands-on workshops, interactive training for K-12 grade teachers to demonstrate how to infuse agricultural concepts into existing curriculum and meet Maryland State Standards.  Teachers receive numerous resource materials and ready to use lessons in the workshops.  Students receive direct agricultural training as the mobile science labs visit schools across the state.

Garden Mosaics addresses issues related to science education, positive role models for youth, green space in cities, and sustainable agriculture by connecting youth to elders.  Educators and volunteers use the materials posted on the Garden Mosaics website to investigate the mosaic of plants, people and cultures in gardens, to learn about science and act together to enhance communities.  Educators also may attend regional workshops, and gardeners can use the Science Pages and contribute to the online databases.
