A New Focus for New Orleans Schools: Earth Stewardship. By Molly Reid, New Orleans Times-Picayune, October 20, 2008. "The Samuel L. Green Uptown [charter school], and... St. Paul's Episcopal School... [are] two schools that are becoming models of eco-conscious education in New Orleans. Spun off of the flagship Edible Schoolyardin Berkeley, Calif., two years ago, the Samuel L. Green program takes up one-third of an acre and features extensive organic flower and vegetable gardens, as well as a fully-staffed outdoor classroom that hosts classes three to five times a day. Although sustainable gardening is a hallmark of the program's output, the Edible Schoolyard is more about fully integrating outdoor, hands-on, environmentally friendly activities with the school curriculum."
