Help SNAC Garden Foundation Bring Outdoor Learning to 2,500+ Students—and Start a New Garden at Georgetown Middle!
Why Your Support Matters
Right now, over 2,000 students at Longneck Elementary, North Georgetown Elementary, and Howard T. Ennis benefit from our weekly garden lessons—but we need your help to keep these programs growing and launch a brand-new garden at Georgetown Middle School!
For just $20, you can sponsor an entire classroom for an hour-long SNAC Garden lesson—an outdoor field trip where kids don’t have to leave school! These lessons aren’t just about gardening; they teach science, sustainability, history, and health in ways that stick with students for life.

At SNAC (School Nutrition Agri-Culture) Garden Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to explore, learn, and connect with nature—regardless of their background or ability.
Our Goal: $5,000
With your help, we can continue providing expert garden educators, hands-on learning opportunities, and a guaranteed 10 outdoor lessons per year for each student—and expand our reach to even more kids at Georgetown Middle School.
- $20 – Sponsors one classroom’s garden lesson
- $100 – Provides five classrooms with outdoor learning
- $250 – Supports a full month of lessons for a classroom
- $500+ – Helps establish the new Georgetown Middle School garden!
Why Now?
Teachers are already stretched thin, and by providing trained garden educators, we take the extra work off their plates—allowing them to focus on supporting students while we handle everything garden-related.
We know that kids who grow their own food are more likely to eat fruits and vegetables later in life—but they need access to these experiences now.
💚 Help us reach our $5,000 goal to grow healthier, happier, and more connected communities—and bring a garden to Georgetown Middle!
About SNAC Garden Foundation
Mission: to enrich communities through cultivating meaningful relationships to nature, food, and personal well-being.
The SNAC (School Nutrition Agri-Culture) Garden Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming schoolyards into vibrant outdoor classrooms where students of all backgrounds can engage in hands-on environmental STEM education, health education, and ecological stewardship.
Through weekly garden-based lessons, we provide over 2,500 students at Longneck Elementary, North Georgetown Elementary, Georgetown Middle School, and Howard T. Ennis with meaningful opportunities to connect with nature, grow their own food, and develop lifelong healthy habits. Our trained garden educators lead lessons on topics such as soil health, plant life cycles, sustainable agriculture, and nutrition—ensuring every child has access to outdoor learning experiences.
By integrating gardening with science, history, and mindfulness, we empower students to become environmental stewards and cultivate a deeper connection to their communities.
