RNFF Gardens sponsors garden programs for Seattle Schools - DREAM BIG!
RNFF GARDENS MISSION:
The Robins Nest Family Foundation created the RNFF Gardens Program to bring garden education programs to Seattle-area schools. We believe in the value of a future in which more children grow up with hands-on experience growing and eating healthy food, caring for the natural world, and using science directly in nature.
Filling a need in the Seattle area
Robins Nest Family Foundation is the only foundation directly helping Seattle schools begin or further their own garden programs. The programs are run by the schools for the schools.
Grants for Garden Programs
The RNFF School Gardens Program funds grants for schools who want to develop or expand a garden education program in their school. RNFF provides support including construction, installation, supplies, curriculum and inspiration! We want to help you to imagine it and make it happen. Dream big!
Curriculum & resources for teachers & volunteers
Looking for lesson plans and resources for your budding garden program? We partner with other school garden programs to collaborate on lesson plans, videos and worksheets. Check back often for new ideas and resources!

“We see firsthand the excitement that the garden program provides and know that this funding is having a direct impact on the learning and health of our students. Thank you!”
