Minneapolis Public Schools

This club is a partnership with The University of MN Urban 4H. Students will be led by Master Gardener, Brownson (a student favorite!). Students will eat microgreens that they grow in our classroom greenhouse. They will learn how to garden year round indoors with hydroponics gardens and grow lights by doing it hands on this winter at Sanford. The crops they grow they will harvest and make snacks, stir fries, ramen dishes, pizzas and tacos with. This group learns about climate change and how that impacts our food systems, food justice, and all the skills they need to start growing their own food at home and in the community. 

• Note: Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
  • Pricing Scale:
    • Option 1 - Class Fee - covers staffing and supply costs
    • Option 2 & 3 - Higher price levels 1 & 2 - supports sustainable programming & scholarships
    • Option 4 - Partial Scholarship price
    • Option 5 - Full Scholarship price
