Gardening 2 Grow (G2G)
G2G was started by D67 parents as well as founding partners, the Junior Garden Club of Lake Forest and Quest Food Management Services, Inc.. G2G now partners with many organizations across our community and is always seeking additional opportunities to bring hands-on garden and nature programming to the students of D67.
Mission
The mission of our organization is to work in the schools and foster community using plants, nature, and partnerships to create engaging spaces and authentic educational opportunities for students which enhance their wellness and well-being.
Vision
We will foster a whole body and mind wellness approach to education
