Your Donation Impact
For nearly fifteen years, Plant It Forward has been training and supporting refugee and New American farmers. We have trained over 100 growers since inception. We’re uniquely positioned to combine land, training, and markets into viable farm businesses rooted in Houston’s communities and helping to nourish our neighbors. Our farms are more than places to grow food—they are classrooms, cultural bridges, and incubators for the next generation of growers.
Experiential & Service Learning
When students visit our farms they engage in local agriculture while exploring the unique environment of the Texas Gulf Coast. In addition, your students will come away from their PIF experience with a better understanding of who a refugee is and how new American families serve Houston.
We prefer to work with students ages 5th grade through college. Our professional staff will work with you to craft a service learning experience that fits the needs of your students and your curriculum. Depending on your interests, our team can lead sessions on topics ranging from the science of how plants grow to the politics that shape our food system.
