How do you celebrate the beginning of new Captain Planet Foundation Project Learning Garden opportunities? By taking a pictorial walk with us through garden classrooms.
Garden celebrations were plentiful. Students at Jefferson Elementary show off a large bowl of harvested lettuce. At harvest events students make a pineapple vinaigrette dressing, in the Vitamix they received, and enjoy a salad right from the garden.
At Pennington Elementary in Nashville a student shouted out, “that’s the best dressing ever!”
When children cheer you can hear it and see it. Students at Centre Ridge Elementary, in Virginia, jumped for joy. In Keller, Texas you can hear the cheers indoors as students completed the garden beds since it was pouring rain outdoors.
From the Gator Garden at Alyce Taylor Elementary in Nevada to Vitamix smoothies at Crossfield Elementary also in Virginia, planting, fun and harvests are inevitable and instructional.
Irvine Chinese Immersion Academy connected the installation of their PLG garden to the celebration of the 2025 Chinese Lunar New Year. In Arizona, at Hidden Hills Elementary, media shared the amazingness and fundamentals of PLG in a three minute segment.
There’s always time for a group photo at these events, even if the sun was in our eyes at Quantum STEAM Academy in Minnesota. And finally, there’s always time to give Captain Planet a high five.
Now is the time for new gardens, new opportunities, new learning and new ways to celebrate the bountiful harvests provided by planet earth. See you there.
