Growing Up Organic with Canadian Organic Growers

Growing Up Organic (GUO) is an in school, curriculum connected, hands-on program that teaches children and youth about organic agriculture, healthy nutrition, and environmental issues. The GUO program has been active since 2007 and in this time we have delivered thousands of hands-on, curriculum-linked workshops to over 10,000 students and teachers and directly facilitated garden-builds at over 130+ schools in Ontario.

By providing hands-on learning in school gardens, GUO empowers children and youth to develop essential food literacy skills, cultivate lifelong healthy eating habits, enhance practical food skills, and gain food growing skills and a deeper understanding of both local and global environmental issues. Through our education-focused approach, we aim to inspire the next generation to make informed, responsible choices for their health and the planet.
