Gardening Club The Gardening Club gives students hands-on opportunities to learn about gardening, sustainability, nutrition, and environmental stewardship while working together to grow and care for plants. Students explore topics such as planting, harvesting, composting, and healthy food systems through interactive projects and outdoor learning experiences. The club places a strong focus on nutrition, healthy eating, and the importance of using fresh ingredients, including incorporating produce grown in the school garden into Encompass Academy’s culinary program. Encompass Academy closely collaborates with FARMily and Katie’s Community Garden to provide students with meaningful experiences connected to community gardening, regenerative agriculture, and social-emotional learning. Gardening Club students regularly visit Katie’s Community Garden, where they participate in hands-on activities such as planting, watering, harvesting, weeding, composting, preparing garden beds, caring for plants, and learning about sustainable gardening practices. These experiences help students develop teamwork, responsibility, and a deeper understanding of where fresh food comes from. During the club’s weekly lunch meetings, students also participate in engaging nutrition and gardening-related activities on campus. Recent activities have included making herbal teas, creating herb-infused oils for bread dipping, tasting fresh herbs and produce, participating in herb identification games, and learning how different plants can be used in cooking and wellness. These activities encourage students to explore healthy foods in fun, interactive, and hands-on ways. Gardening Club's Plans for the Future We are currently pursuing additional grant opportunities to expand the Gardening Club and provide even more hands-on learning experiences for students. Encompass Academy is applying for funding to add indoor hydroponic growing systems at our school site located within the Boys & Girls Clubs of Truckee Meadows, allowing students to grow plants year-round while learning about sustainable agriculture and nutrition. We are also seeking composting supplies to help launch a schoolwide composting program in partnership with BGCTM.
