Mission

We are a collective group of garden educators, community members, and organizations who network to offer fun and educational opportunities for school garden enthusiasts.

How We Got Started

In 2014, two individuals, one from Ohio State University Extension in Franklin County representing 4 H, and another from Slow Food USA and Olentangy Local School District, had a vision to make school gardens a vital part of the educational culture of Ohio. With the belief that school gardening can lead to increased outcomes for youth such as improved nutrition and a deeper engagement in learning, the two invited additional members to the grass roots organization, currently known as School Gardens of Ohio or SGO.
