Kellogg Johnson has led Kellogg Garden Products to support hundreds of school gardens across the country, including a recent partnership with Grades of Green to revitalize and sustain the school garden at Kelso Elementary School in Inglewood, CA. Through her close work with the organization Plants With Purpose/Floresta, Kellogg has supported the planting of tens of millions of trees and has educated impoverished subsistence farmers around the world to feed their families and protect healthy soil to radically improve the quality of life in their communities. About the Mother Earth Award Grades of Green launched the Mother Earth Awards to recognize the women environmentalists who have changed the lives of young people by working to address environmental challenges and by empowering students to take environmental action. Grades of Green was inspired to create this award when reflecting on its four passionate founders, all mothers, who began the nonprofit to bring environmental education to their children’s schools. The award was also inspired by Grades of Green’s students, who consistently credit their mothers as the primary source of their environmental passion. As a women-run organization that is primarily staffed by mothers, Grades of Green knows firsthand the importance of elevating the women and mothers who lead the environmental movement and is proud to have created this exciting reward to recognize their world-changing efforts.
