Life Lab cultivates children's love of learning, nourishing food, and nature through garden-based education.

 

We know that garden-based learning is important to you. Like a garden, Life Lab needs pollinators to help us grow our programs. Please share our work with friends and family and donate as you are able.

Our
Programs

Drawing on over forty years of work with young people in gardens, Life Lab, is a national leader in the garden-based learning movement. Through workshops and consultations, we have provided tens of thousands of educators across the country with the inspiration and information necessary to engage young people in gardens and on farms. Our workshops and award-winning publications are the go-to resource for educators and families interested in engaging young people in gardens. At the Life Lab Garden Classroom educational center in Santa Cruz and the Blooming Classroom garden in Watsonville, we promote experiential learning for people of all ages through field trips,  children’s camps, and teacher workshops. Through district-level partnerships, we help whole communities make a thriving garden classroom a core asset of all of their schools.
