Arizona School Garden Certification Process

Schools in Arizona have a unique opportunity....

To:   "Have their garden - and eat it, too",  thanks to the Arizona Department of Health Services School Garden Program and Green Fund.

Through the program, schools have the ability to become a "Certified School Garden", allowing schools to serve their garden-grown produce in their own facility's cafeteria.  

 

Tools to help guide interested school employees and volunteers through the school garden certification process. The tools are the result of a collaboration between The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, the Arizona Department of Health Services, the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona, and local Arizona certified schools.
