GARDEN RANGER PROGRAM
Through our Garden Ranger Program, a trained garden teacher visits the school once a week to engage students in the garden. We do our best to schedule a program that works with the needs of a school. Through our 6-week rotations, ( our most common iteration) we aim to have all students from the school participate in the program. The program is interactive, hands-on, and STEM-based. Currently in 100 schools, our Garden Ranger Program offers interdisciplinary garden- based classes to
students from K-12. A trained Garden Ranger is consistently on site for half a day ( apx) every week to care
for the garden and to deliver our straightforward and cheerful curriculum. EnrichLA supplies all of the
materials, seedlings, amendments and tools. EnrichLA also takes care of repairs, as needed.

Our K-12 Garden Ranger curriculum is engaging, fun, and interactive. Utilizing the garden, students learn about a wide array of topics, from learning how to care for an organic garden, to learning about the importance of pollinators. Our STEM-based curriculum has been developed over the years to cater to our program and to all our students. Lessons are grade-appropriate and also follow current academic standards.
