Maine Foodscapes partners with local organizations to offer ongoing educational and therapeutic programming in garden-based settings for Mainers of all ages. We believe that everyone can benefit from the healing power of working with plants and nature.
Our educational programming is especially active in the summer season, when gardens are in full bloom! Our main partner is the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southern Maine, where we partner to provide weekly programming in garden-based settings for community youth. If you are interested in contracting Maine Foodscapes to lead educational programming for your organization's youth, teen, adult, and/or senior clients, please contact ali@mainefoodscapes.org!
