Green Tables Partners and Leadership

Strategic Partnership with the National Gardening Association

Goal: Bring technical assistance to local communities to enhance their capacity to teach and experience growing and preparing fresh food.

LDEI members’ culinary mastery is poised for action in 24 chapters across the US and Canada.

Print and online resources, garden adoption campaigns, and curricula will help lay the groundwork for chapter initiatives.

The NGA Adopt a Garden Program directs sponsors to LDEI Green Tables Initiative projects for sponsorship.

Chapters can ‘adopt’ existing school gardens to:

Provide garden, culinary and nutrition-related education to schools
Enhance the impact of garden education, link it to health and the enjoyment of healthful food.
