Where We're Growing
Big Green Chicago
Announcing Challenge 200
Big Green plans to build 200 Learning Gardens in Chicago Public schools, reaching one third of all students, and creating the single largest school garden network in a US city!
Big Green has built over 180 Learning Gardens in Chicago since 2012. A Learning Garden is a powerful teaching tool, a way for kids to learn about healthy food, and a way to provide hands-on learning experiences for children across Chicago. The Challenge 200 campaign will dramatically expand our reach in Chicago Public Schools, impacting over 125,000 students every day. We’re only a handful of gardens away from making history, but we need your help! To find out how you can help, contact us today!
