Plant the Seed is a brand dedicated to creating and maintaining spaces that serve as sources of learning, vitality, and growth within the greater Nashville community. They partner with public schools and community organizations, with a particular focus on growing in neighborhoods labeled as food deserts or with a high percentage of food insecure residents. Their mission is to address food insecurity and promote a more equitable education system by teaching students where their food comes from and empowering them to grow fresh, local, culturally-relevant foods.

At their partner schools, Plant the Seed provides enriching learning experiences that integrate garden education into the academic curriculum, starting at the Pre-K level. They follow a child-led approach, allowing for experimentation and exploration, nurturing a sense of wonder and confidence in their students. Additionally, they foster intentional relationships with school communities, understanding their needs and priorities, and promoting a culture of outdoor education, food awareness, and environmental stewardship.

Through their Bringing the Garden Home series, students share their learning with their families and reinforce their knowledge. By creating a fertile space for learning and growing together, Plant the Seed is making a positive impact on the community and cultivating a sense of connection to the land and lifelong skills that improve well-being
