About The Edible Schoolyard
The Edible Schoolyard at the Greensboro Children’s Museum is an official affiliate of Alice Waters’ original Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley, California. We broke ground in September 2009 when Alice Waters came to Greensboro. Our Grand Opening was May 22, 2010. The Edible Schoolyard team at the Greensboro Children’s Museum believes that understanding and participating in the seed to table process helps children develop emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. We offer children interactive experiences that focus on fresh seasonal food, health, wellness and outdoor play. Children learn the process of food production in the museum’s 1/2 acre educational urban farm and teaching kitchen. Through participation in after school classes, weekend programs, community events, and summer camps students engage in the seed to table process. Partnerships with local schools and community organizations allow the museum to provide regularly scheduled field trips featuring seasonal lessons and/or games related to current classroom studies.
