Lower Columbia School Gardens

LCSG promotes healthy behaviors, increases nutrition knowledge, and builds skills for cooking and gardening with kids and families in Longview and Kelso, WA. Because of us, families have increased access to fresh, organic, locally grown produce, regardless of their ability to pay, their ability or interest in gardening or their lack of access to fresh foods because of where they live. Each day, we are meeting children where they already learn and play, providing them the skills, exposure and excitement to foster healthy habits that last a lifetime. Our 19 gardens are filled with healthy, fresh and organic food in beautiful outdoor learning spaces. Much of our produce is consumed by kids while they are participating in our garden-based programs; extra food is distributed to families who need it in our community through various methods and community partners.
