Giant Student-Run Farmers Market Returns to Downtown Summerlin

Get ready for the agricultural event of the season as Downtown Summerlin braces for the comeback of the mammoth student-led farmers market! With over 500 industrious students representing 55 schools across Southern Nevada, this market isn't just big—it's colossal!

Brought to you by Green Our Planet, the foremost authority in hydroponic and outdoor school gardening, this extravaganza is set to take over The Lawn at Downtown Summerlin on Friday, April 19 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Prepare to be dazzled by a cornucopia of delights from 60 different schools within the Clark County School District, showcasing not only fresh produce but also an array of arts and crafts.

But it's not just about buying and selling—this market is a classroom in itself! Witness students flexing their financial muscles and honing their business acumen as they manage stalls, negotiate prices, and proudly pocket profits, all in support of their school garden programs.

According to Ciara Byrne, CEO of Green Our Planet, “It’s special to see the students blossom into farmpreneurs during the market,” Ciara Byrne, CEO of Green Our Planet, said. “The market cultivates a learning ground for students to practice how to run their own business, negotiate pricing and take pride in making money on the produce they worked so hard growing at their school gardens.”

Since its inception in 2013, Green Our Planet has revolutionized school gardening, impacting over 370,000 students nationwide across 42 states. Through hands-on experience, students not only cultivate vegetables but also cultivate business acumen, crafting business plans and engaging with mentors to perfect their sales pitch.

So mark your calendars and join us in Summerlin for a day of greenery, entrepreneurship, and community spirit at the Giant Student Farmers Market. It's an event that will sow seeds of inspiration for generations to come!
