About Us

School Garden Project Management

Sprouting Chefs Services offers schools, community centres, daycares, preschools, and any other group wishing to create sustainable school gardens projects build and grow gardens.

  • “My mission and vision is to create space and programs where children feel connected to the earth and each other, work in harmony with nature and eat the fruits of their labours”

My Values

Respect for Self.
Respect for Each Other.
Respect for the Earth.

I value the garden and all its stages of possibility. I value the kitchen, the heart of any home, the place where family & community gather to celebrate, nurture and inspire.
