School-Based Program

In January of 2022, Olivewood partnered with Healthy Day Partners to revitalize school gardens at all 10 National School District schools. Through our intensive partnership with the district, this iteration of the Children’s Program, allows us to meet students at school garden sites to integrate more farm-to-school initiatives for more equitable learning.

In April of 2025, Olivewood’s partnership with National School District grew to include hands on hydroponic gardening and cooking programming in the after school setting. Expanding the time and setting in which students get exposure to hands on learning experiences has allowed students to make deep and meaningful connections to their food and their environment. 

Through the School-based Children’s Program, Olivewood is able to provide experiential standards-based environmental and nutrition education lessons to all National School District students.
