Plant to Plate

Plant to Plate is an art-based program that connects creativity, nature, and sustainability through hands-on projects. Students begin by painting flower pots and planting seeds, learning about the journey from plant to plate while nurturing their own growing plants. They then design and build imaginative farms and farmhouses inspired by the work of artists Kelly Betschen and Amanda Browder, decorating their structures with colorful "quilts" made from recycled fabric. To complete their miniature landscapes, students plant grass, bringing their farms to life. Throughout the program, participants explore artistic expression, environmental stewardship, and the importance of sustainable practices in a fun and engaging way
