Honor an Educator. Grow Joy for Kids.

Celebrate an educator who made a difference in your life. Your gift helps teachers and caregivers create gardens where kids learn, grow, and thrive.

Last year, 637 supporters gave $152,000 to help kids grow through gardening. For every $1 donated, KidsGardening reaches 4+ children. Please donate today to help us reach more educators and children nationwide.

A Small Garden. A Big Impact.

Just north of Yellowstone National Park, Farm to School of Park County is reaching 600 students through ten school and community gardens.

With support from KidsGardening, children plant, harvest, cook together, and discover the natural world firsthand.

One second grader said, “Can we go all the time? I’m so happy here.” Another shared, “It makes me feel calm.”

These gardens are more than lessons. They are places where children build confidence, learn teamwork, and feel connected.

This is what your support makes possible.
