Gardening is food for the soul!

Farmily Garden Club empowers children to learn and practice social-emotional skills as they plant, tend to, harvest, and prepare a wide variety of nutrient-rich fruits and veggies. Our curriculum is designed to connect children to nature while fostering a reverent curiosity that encourages healthy habits. This environment is fertile ground for kids to acquire the knowledge skills and attitude necessary to recognize and regulate their behaviors and emotions. In the garden we establish and grow positive relationships, learn responsibility, solve challenging situations, and set and achieve positive goals.

Humble Beginnings

Since the spring of 2017 we've experienced exponential growth in our 100% organic urban garden. During that time, we've expanded from what started out as a small growing area at the Corano Boys & Girls Club on Bresson Avenue, to now include a greenhouse, fruit trees, row crops, herb garden, raised beds, a pollinator garden, herbal remedy garden, worm farm and compost area. We are actively reducing lunch room waste by composting and turning it back into dirt for our gardens!

Watch Us Grow!

Farmily is thriving and continues to expand thanks to the help and contribution of many generous individuals and sponsors, especially the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows! In 2019 Farmily's one garden multiplied into four as the Boys and Girls Club requested that we establish gardens at their Pennington, Reynolds and Desert Skies locations! We are so thankful for partners like enCompass Academy and The Bridge Church who have shared their land and resources to enable us to grow our gardens, touching the lives of hundreds of new kids!

Learning is FUN!

Educating through nature...

The knowledge gained through personal experience and interaction can lead to a deeper understanding of scientific disciplines and interconnections between humans and environmental systems that kids might not experience otherwise. We always make sure that the children's time in the garden is as educational as it is enjoyable. Farmily incorporates many subjects into our curriculum including social-emotional learning, science, technology, art, math, history, reading, nutrition and health.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
