Earth Genius Program

Earth Genius program from One Cool Earth

​Gardens change youth.
Youth change the world. 

Learning, growing, and eating in the garden unlocks the inherent genius in everyone. Genius isn't just about book smarts, it's about reconnecting with our health, our family, our community, and the Earth. Drawing together Food Forests, Zero Waste, and Water Wise concepts, the program currently works at schools in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties to measurably improve student health, academics and well-being. 
Health
By the age of 20, one in three elementary students will be overweight, and four in ten will have type II diabetes.  We are changing that, by growing food which makes nutrition fun and personal.

Academics
Outdoor, living-laboratories and project-based-learning bridge textbooks and the real world. Gardens can help youth who struggle with learning science to increase test scores by up to 17%.

Wellbeing
In a time when more students than ever feel disconnected from their school and community, gardens bring people together to make a difference, and give space for exploration and play.
