In addition to facilitating creative arts projecsts for students, FLS staff provide tutoring support in the subjects of math, science, and English as well as mentoring for successful college & career readiness. FLS staff also work with students to complete Food Grown Home STEM activities such as growing lettuce hydroponically in order to learn about healthy eating as well as the cultivation of produce.
About Us
Attention Montgomery County High School & College Student Leaders!
We are looking to partner with dedicated students interested in learning more about sustainable farming through hands-on food growing to create
Food Grown Home clubs!
Benefits of partnering with us including receiving FREE food-growing supplies, sample crop recipes, crop growing guides, and FGH team support.

As a feature of the Kind Scholars program, FLS staff work with youth to learn more about the impact of industrial agriculture on our environment and how we can reimagine our local food systems to produce nutrient-dense food with minimal environmental impact through indoor vertical farming. In addition to learning about the ‘roots’ of Food Grown Home, youth participate in Food Grown Home STEM activities such as hydroponic food growing activities with nutrient-dense sprouts and leafy greens as well as traditional growing projects using reusable containers. This helps educate youth on the importance of healthy eating, the process of growing food in urban areas, and a diversity of STEM concepts related to the food cultivation process.

Our Food Grown Home Cohort of Montgomery County growers have completed a variety of different growing projects so far, beginning with broccoli, fenugreek, and radish sprouts. In addition to nutrient-dense sprouts, we worked with our Summer 2021 Food Grown Home cohort to establish traditional food-growing projects through reusable gardening containers. This allows individuals to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs without requiring actual yard space for in-ground planting. Our Summer 2021 Cohort planted russet potatoes, cherry tomatoes, green beans, and various breeds of spicy peppers. Looking toward the future, we will be embarking on growing projects that are grown hydroponically both with and without official hydroponic growing systems.
