2eden School Gardens

2eden studio also owns and operates 2eden school gardens - a provider of educational, experiential & kinesthetic, horticultural-based learning for school children.

A garden can be a phenomenal teaching tool. However, without the knowledge and skills of an experienced gardener or gardening professional, it can also be a very daunting prospect. Our work with school districts, teachers, PTA's & volunteers enable school gardens to thrive & achieve their fullest potential. We have proudly served the Oak Park Unified School District for the last 9 years.

We offer mentoring &/or unique, & original hands-on lessons that are science-based, & introduce, explain & reinforce common core educational standards. Lesson are highly structured, garden-based learning & organic growing for students from Preschool to 8th Grade. Programming also promotes health & wellness, local food production, & environmental stewardship of the Earth through responsible use, & protection of the environment/natural resources through conservation & sustainable practices. ​​

There has never been a more important time for re-connecting our young people to the Earth, its resources & to their own ability to care for our planet’s future. Careers in sustainability & green jobs are experiencing (& forecast for) continued exponential growth. From science to engineering to industrial management & helping companies run more efficiently, all of these careers focus on providing products & services without undermining environmental integrity or draining future resources. The diversity of opportunities is astounding & we firmly believe that we are playing a very active role in providing a solid foundation to help set young global citizens on paths to responsible lives and future careers. Only recently, we were thrilled to learn that landscape architecture has also now been officially recognized as a STEM profession too!
