Dig Local partners with local garden clubs and hosts workshops at DIG Community Gardens, which are also provided to the community garden plot owners and open to the community.

Community garden classes are held monthly at each of the garden properties. 

The Dig Local Network Children’s Garden Education Outreach created, maintains, and facilitates programming at one (1) children’s garden site in Neptune Beach, Florida. This fully organic children’s garden serves many children and their grown-ups across the Beaches and Duval County. We strive to connect children with their natural world through creative gardening experiences in our garden and the workshops held within it.

Inspired by Montessori and Waldorf educational methodologies and holistic, organic gardening practices, our developmentally appropriate facilitated programs encourage children’s senses of wonder to soar, laying a foundation for place-based learning, a lifelong love of nature, and healthy food relationships. Using nature study, story, song, poetry, visual art, and gardening, we inspire children of all ages to explore, discover, observe, identify, and creatively connect with the wonders of nature in the safe, fully hands-on garden space. From herb tasting to seasonal planting and harvesting, we involve the children and their guardians in every garden job!

Dig Local Network is in partnership with BEAM. Together, we enjoy helping families develop healthier lifestyles.

Our Garden to Youth/Family Nutrition program is a nutrition education program developed with and for youth. It empowers youth to make smart food choices for themselves and to promote healthy dietary habits in families at home, among their peers, and within their communities.

The Garden to Youth/Family Nutrition program gives youth and their families the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about what they eat and drink and trains them to help others through education and social media initiatives. For more information, contact us at: info@diglocal.org
