Growing a movement for food justice and community wellness through garden-based education.

Land to Learn’s work is rooted in gardening, food, community, health, and ecology. Our learner-centered approach fosters understanding and agency within youth in schools, residential centers, virtual classrooms, and other educational settings.

Our curriculum cultivates a deepened awareness of self, the world and its inhabitants, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Experiential, place-based, democratic, and transformative philosophies and practices inform our work.

We strive to center social justice and environmental consciousness in the learning communities we co-create with students and participants.

Our Programs:

SproutEd brings garden-based education to over 2,000 k-2 students in 10 public elementary schools throughout the Hudson Valley.

RadicleRoots for Teens employs and trains youth (age 14 - 19) to work throughout the summer, maintaining school gardens and leading activities for younger kids.

ToolShed offers training and consulting services to educators and schools looking to start or develop a garden-based education program.

Your donations ensure we can continue offering integrated, experiential lessons at no cost to over 2,000 Hudson Valley youth & their families.
