Reconnecting students to what matters
Vireo's garden projects lead students away from screens, encouraging the application of academic and real-life skills through collaborative efforts, all while cultivating patience and resilience. Gardening isn't synonymous with immediate gratification and rapidity like it's often the case with technology in class. Rather, it embodies patience, resilience, and a profound respect for the environment, the community, and each other. Witness the happiness on your student's face while they harvest their first crop, collaborate together in these stimulating projects and develop an environmental consciousness paramount to becoming responsible citizens.
Environment and community-focused learning
No matter where you stand on climate-related issues, we all agree instilling environmental consciousness is crucial and should begin in the early years. At Vireo, we are firm believers that nurturing a garden is among the most effective means of instigating mindful behaviors that extend far beyond the classroom. Through cultivating their own produce, children get a grasp of natural systems, acquire self-reliance, and gain insight into their dietary choices to foster healthier routines. Moreover, they discover the significance of community contribution and their capacity to effect change through diverse donations initiatives.

In your classroom, the Vireo garden serves as the focal point of your collective space. It's a living area for interaction and collaboration amid the hustle and bustle of the school environment. Your garden will introduce a stabilizing element, providing a sense of rootedness that will be advantageous to all students mental wellbeing.
