Grady’s Classroom is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that offers an evidence- based curriculum and app that encourages children to lead more healthy lifestyles and to eat more vegetables through gardening.
Through the patent-pending Grady’s Garden app, Grady’s Classroom provides research-driven, age-appropriate, purposeful and targeted curriculum (e.g., social emotional learning, nutrition and health, and gardening), and experiential learning extensions, such as vegetable tastings, recipe testing, games, and other activities.
Welcome to Grady’s Classroom!
Edutainment & App
Each Grady’s Classroom curriculum module features a short episode of our original animated show, Grady’s Garden, featuring six kids who decide to create a garden to grow vegetables for their community and families, igniting their overall interest in health. Grady’s Garden is created and executive produced by Disney TV animation writer Evan Gore.
These funny, relatable, animated episodes are designed for elementary aged children, and use a cast of endearing characters whose stories lay the groundwork for our proprietary educational curriculum.
Grady’s Classroom currently offers all ten curriculum modules exclusively through the Grady’s Garden app. Developed in support by the USDA, the patent-pending app allows us to deliver and support this fun, educational content nationwide.

The Grady’s Garden App was developed with support by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.

Curriculum Modules
Our innovative, interactive, educational curriculum was researched and developed in collaboration with nationally recognized experts and nutritionists.
Each Grady’s Garden episode is followed by a series of session components that support the learning targets. These components are presented in bite-size chunks that are fun for kids, and easy for staff or teachers to implement.
We’ve reached over 3,600 children to date with encouraging results!
