Highland Youth Garden

Highland Youth Garden is a .4 acre urban agriculture project giving children the opportunity to learn and grow through gardening since 2009. We offer a diverse, hands-on learning environment for children, giving them the space and guidance to grow their own food. 

We serve approximately 375 students from Highland Elementary School and The Educational Academy for Boy and Girls during the school year as well as youth from the neighborhood and as many as 200 young people each week during the summer.  We also employee neighborhood teenagers, establish backyard gardens for neighborhood families and distribute free fresh produce to our neighbors two times a week.
