Bob Markey has been doing amazing work with ?? summer camp programs at local YMCAs, teaching kids the joy of Square Foot Gardening and how it connects to STEM education! His efforts are so impactful that he's been invited to join the National Garden Association's board, leading kids' gardening initiatives nationwide. ?Check out what Bob is saying about the 4th edition: " This fourth edition of Square Foot Gardening (SFG) establishes it as the ‘Go-To’ gardening method’ for anyone of any age, anywhere in the world. As a Certified SFG Instructor since 2008, I’ve had the privilege of teaching organic gardening to over 1,400 YMCA Summer Campers using this SFG Method. And, hard to believe, our kids have never experienced a gardening failure! I’m excited to say this new edition will make my teaching job even easier by providing the perfect, high-yielding organic gardening method. " – Bob Markey ??

关于我们
The Square Foot Gardening Method helps position the individual gardener for growth, and the Square Foot Gardening Foundation’s grant program helps support local and global organizations as we all work to increase food security—one square foot at a time—so more families and communities can become full, fulfilled, and flourish. Our vision is to help all gardeners learn the empowering life skill of Square Foot Gardening so they can create their own sustainable, sufficient, and reliable food source. By supporting one gardener, we support all gardeners. As the individual gardener grows, they begin to see the larger gardening community that exists around them, and when one gardener steps up to lend a helping hand to another, there is a ripple effect of good work that takes place. We see our role as helping to move that good work forward because we know one act of service adds up to many acts of service in a global gardening community. We are working, in collaboration with the larger gardening community, to increase food security in local and global communities so that families can be fed and lives can be changed. Food security leads to better and more nutritious produce for families, a possible new income stream and livelihood for communities, and a sense of real fulfillment for more people in our own gardens and around the world.

Honoring our Veterans This Veterans Day, let’s take a moment to reflect as we put our gardens to rest for the season. Just as we’ve cared for our plants, our veterans have cared for our country. So, while you gather fallen leaves, pause to remember those who have served with bravery and sacrifice. Thank you, veterans, for the strength and resilience you’ve shown. ?? #HeroesTribute #VeteransDayHonors #GardenOfHeroes #HonoringOurHeroes #VeteransGarden #TributeToHeroes #HeroesRemembered #VeteransDaySalute #GardenTribute #HonoringVeterans #SquareFootGardening #SquareFootGardeningFoundation

Our fantastic educators Brad Hendershot, Marcia Tate, Bob Markey, and Jodie Visker shared how they bring science to life with creative activities like composting, soil science, Square Foot Gardening and a veggie derby.

Junaluska Elementary School in Waynesville, NC, teaches gardening to students ... more than 150 students, to be exact. No, it isn't the only thing the school teaches. But the Square Foot Gardening Method is one of the ways they make math ?? and science ?? concepts go from abstract to hands-on. Their program begins in 1st grade. Students plant gardens in spring, and during summer, they're invited with their parents to help tend the gardens and harvest produce and flowers. ?? When the students return as 2nd graders, it's time for much bigger harvests of what they planted. And the cycle keeps going. ?? BTW, your donations to the Square Foot Gardening Foundation help support the gardens at Junaluska Elementary School, as well as other educational and community programs. Please consider making a donation today so we can help more organizations grow sustainable, organic gardens.

If you can, please give.?? While we realize that a cash donation won't fully change the situation for our friends, families, gardeners, and communities impacted by Hurricane Helene, it can help aid societies like the American Red Cross get supplies and assistance where needed most. Please consider joining the Square Foot Gardening Foundation in giving to relief efforts with the American Red Cross or other organizations in the area. We can't change the past but hopefully we can help rebuild a future for the impacted communities. https://www.redcross.org/ #hurricanehelene
