Garden Collaboration Team
To ensure our schools receive guidance consistent with the District Guidelines, various departments are
represented on the Garden Collaboration Team which serves as the collaborative governing body for school
gardens.

Community Partners
This year several of our community partners including the UF/IFAS Extension Service and the American
Heart Association worked with our schools to enhance and support their existing school garden programs.
The Family Nutrition Team from the UF/IFAS Extension Service supported the five District schools below
during the 2021-2022 fiscal year to help promote, through environmental support, the long-term behavior
changes that their nutrition education programs create.
