Malama Kaua‘i
Visit the Web site.

Malama Kaua‘i is a program that connects students, teachers, and school communities with creating, growing, and revitalizing on-campus gardens. We envision every school with a garden on campus where healthy, local food is the central theme. Each garden is a beautiful and uplifting environment that inspires, guides, and offers a sanctuary for learning of all kinds to occur.

Children learn by what they experience, both inside and outside the four walls of the classroom. They learn about how to care for the environment by experiencing a cared-for campus, a place that is well tended, filled with beauty and shade. A place where healthy food is grown and eaten. All of these experiences combine to teach a healthy, caring attitude towards the environment.

Malama Kaua‘i Mission
We envision a Kaua‘i where the ‘āina (environment) is healthy, people enjoy a high quality of life, the sense of community is strong, and culture is respected and perpetuated.

Kaua‘i School Garden Network hosted Malama Your Campus Day for National Farm to School Month. Eleele Kindergarden was given a great boost when parents, grandparents and business from our community—Alexander & Baldwin, Home Depot, County Council, Kauai Groundcover and Heart and Soul Organics—joined together to revitalize this campus garden.
