School Partnerships

Let us bring the farm to you!
Our School Partnerships bring the farm workshops to your classroom, local park, program site, or schoolyard!

HONEYBEE RESIDENCY

Looking to install a honeybee hive with your school?

Honeybee Residencies are designed to increase student engagement with bees and build teacher capacity. City Growers partners your school/organization with one of our experienced beekeepers, who will install a live honeybee hive at your site. They will work alongside school staff or parents over the course of 8 months (April - November) to mentor them in caring for pollinators holistically. Our educators will then go into your classrooms (as few as four and as many as 24) and teach about the bees on their roof - using live honeybees in a glass observation hive!

Our base “package” includes the 8 month residency, our signature professional development course “Honeybees 101”, and four classroom engagements.

All of our programs operate on a sliding scale - Email info at info@citygrowers.org for booking and to inquire about pricing.

SCHOOL GARDEN RESIDENCY

Have a school garden but not sure how to utilize it?

Our educators will assess your site, design a seasonal educational plan alongside your staff, and facilitate workshops for PreK - 5th grade. Together, we can help you make the most of your school garden’s learning potential!

A standard residency includes 4 workshops per day, 1x per week, for up to 5 weeks. Weekly topics include: Seeds, soil + compost, pollination, water harvest, + more!

FARM TO YOUTH WORKSHOP SERIES

Can’t make it to the Farm on a field trip and would rather our educators come to you?

We offer educational workshops that are similar to our on Farm Field Trips, but designed to connect students to nature in a space in or near your school or organization’s location (school yard, playground, nearby park, or classroom!)
