AN ALL-IN-ONE SYSTEM THAT WORKS FROM DAY ONE
Going back to what matters
In the first half of the 20th century, school gardens were everywhere and a necessary learning medium as much as a food production staple. As screens have taken over every single classroom in North-America, we aim to reconnect students with nature and move away from constant instant gratification to nurture patience, resilience and cooperation. As every classroom now has a digital board, we believe each school should have gardens where children learn about sustainability, environmental stewardship and healthy eating habits while getting their hands dirty.
Connecting the district to the community
The Vireo experience is first a curriculum-aligned project-based learning medium used by teachers to enrich their teaching of STEAM concepts and promote student well-being. However, the scope of Vireo projects spill out of the classroom and into the community. Through the guidance of our dedicated team and the initiatives of motivated teachers, student will marvel at putting together community projects such as donations to foodbanks; fundraiser events through selling of their crops to finance various initiatives; healthy cooking classes; recipe books and much more.
Funding Vireo
Vireo ties not only to the curriculum, but also to several healthy living and student wellness objectives. Thus, it is a fairly easy project to finance through a variety of grants, education and state funding streams or crowd funding initiatives. Ask our dedicated expert to help you identify the best funding stream for your project, it's what we do!

"With Vireo's project, the students develop a more global perspective of environment and sustainability while learning to grow their own food. By discovering gardening at school, we believe they will keep that habit in the future to become more conscious citizens. We hope it will mark them positively and inspire the younger students to discover the joys of caring for nature."
- Alain Albert, Elementary School Principal
