Our mobile garden is a versatile, rectangular gardening unit designed to facilitate inquiry-driven, project-based learning through engaging hands-on mini-gardening activities. This interactive setup incorporates a range of educational tools tailored to each event, including micro greenhouses and irrigation instruments. It provides children with the opportunity to actively engage in gardening by participating in enjoyable activities, such as planting seeds that they can take home.
What is a Mobile Garden?
History
In 2018, I had an idea during a visit to a local farmers' market: to bring gardening directly to people. After five years of dedicated effort, my vision was realized. It offers a unique, hands-on gardening experience for communities in Northeast Ohio. Built by my husband, Daniel Green, this mobile learning garden is the first of its kind in the region. It made its debut in North Lima, Ohio, in May 2023. The project is continuously evolving and growing, providing an exceptional learning experience on the go.
For Non-Profit organizations, we operate mainly on a barter system, and any monetary donations go toward expanding the garden. For-profit markets and venues should email at least two months before their event, as availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, with Non-Profit organizations taking precedence. Other inquiries for use are also welcome.
Rental & Reservations
Goals & Expansion
Going further into the future, on or before 2030, We are looking to expand our mobile learning garden experience by increasing the size of our setup until we have a full-size, walk-in, touring mobile setup. Our unit will also be available on a rental basis to facilities, schools, markets, and other community events around Northeast Ohio. Feel free to reach out if you would like to help in some way to accelerate the expansion of our mobile learning garden experience!
