Garden-to-Cafeteria Program
Rooted in Wyoming’s flagship program, Garden-to-Cafeteria encompasses our coordination with school gardens across Sheridan County, our partnership with the SCSD2 Fifth Street Greenhouse, and our ongoing campaign to incorporate more local food into school meal programs.
This important work takes a great deal of time and effort to develop and advance. Please reach out to us in order to find out ways you can be part of connecting school children with healthy local produce!
Seed Starting
Each spring since 2017, Rooted in Wyoming has undertaken a seed starting program for school gardens. To-date, thousands of students have participated in hands-on field trips, finding out about soils, worms, and seeds. As with most of our programs, our volunteers are central to bringing this positive experience to life!

School Garden Development & Programming
Since helping Big Horn Elementary start Ram Harvest Garden in 2016, Rooted in Wyoming has had an impact on every school garden in Sheridan County, often as a central organizer of the gardens’ development process. As teachers and children are out of school during our short summer growing season, Rooted in Wyoming continues to work with educators and families to help school gardens thrive and yield nourishing produce.

School Greenhouses
A range of school greenhouse projects have developed across Sheridan County. Due to Wyoming’s short growing season, these facilities are essential for horticulture activities during the school year.
