School & Youth Gardens



“From the garden, and the kitchen, and the table, you learn empathy—from each other and for all creation; and you learn patience and self-discipline. A curriculum that teaches these lessons gives children an orientation to the future—it can give them hope.” 
Alice Louise Waters

The Urban Gardening Program is one of many programs Berkeley Youth Alternatives makes available for Berkeley youth.  Paid internships are available at the garden for teenagers, ages 14-18.

During the summer, BYA runs an eight week summer program that teaches teens how to work a CSA by growing, harvesting, packing and donating boxes to a local restaurant, a program that feeds lower income community members and a food bank.

BYA also has a Landscape Program, The Health and Environmental
Awareness Training Center, and a Culinary and Nutrition Training as well.

The Edible Schoolyard Berkeley

Alice Waters, (co-founder of Chez Pannise Restaurant), has been credited with establishing The Edible Schoolyard
Project at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School in 1995.

"...when children are engaged in the growing, harvesting and preparing of food they are far more likely to eat it." ~Our History, The Edible Schoolyard Project

The school garden coupled with the teaching kitchen, educates children about health, good eating habits while incorporating math, science, language arts, history and ecology.

An offshoot of The Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, San Francisco's Edible Schoolyard is an afterschool kitchen and organic gardening program. 

The Edible Schoolyard's focus is teaching Club students and families about gardening, cooking and eating healthy meals.  Gardening and cooking classes are offered to San Franciscan schoolage children, ($10 for the year).  Garden field trips, food demos and a seasonal farm stand are a few of the activities the SF Edible Schoolyard affords youth and their families.
