Meet OUR SCHOOL PARTNERS
We’ve started a movement to “Veggie-cate the First State!” Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids’ goal is to bring our vegetable gardening program to every interested Delaware school. With more than schools in New Castle County alone, we recently expanded into Kent and Sussex Counties, bringing our total to 55 schools in 2024. The list of schools keeps growing! Our strength is a reproducible program that is practical for busy teachers.

Our IMPACT
School garden programs work! Learn more about how HFHK is creating a proven healthier future for today’s kids. We love watching students grow in their understanding of gardening science as well as their love of vegetables.
Our SCHOOL
GARDEN PROGRAM
Our program is specifically designed to fit into the academic year and promote student health. HFHK’s Education Cultivation program provides hands-on gardening activities through lessons that support Delaware State learning standards. Students experience “seed to table” growing each spring AND fall, and EAT fresh vegetables they’ve grown in their cafeterias.
SPONSORSHIP
We are proud to provide our program at no cost to our partner schools. Help 21,000 Delaware students grow vegetables tomorrow by sponsoring Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids today. Businesses, foundations, and individuals may become sponsors of one or more of these gardens.
