Garden to Table has committed and experienced staff members and volunteers to help foster school partnerships and support to ensure the growth of your school gardens.
Lindsey LeCuyer, Executive Director (she/her)
Lindsey grew up in the Washington, DC area and received a BA in Music Education from Virginia Tech. After spending some years reconnecting with her roots in Texas, she has happily settled in her husband’s homeland of northern Colorado! Lindsey brings 15 years of public school experience as a music educator. Intrigued by the opportunity to learn more about gardening while volunteering at her daughters’ school, she joined the parent team at the Louisville GTT garden. Directing program at Garden to Table was Lindsey’s dream “next step” in her professional life, providing the opportunity to work with schools to educate the next generation of environmentally aware students while building community around the wonder of growing our own food.
Adoree Faul, Garden Director (she/her & ella/la)
Adoree is a nature and animal lover who grew up exploring in the mountains west of Boulder. She has spent a good part of her life traveling outside of the United States and worked on various permaculture and organic vegetable farms in Patagonia. She is passionate about inspiring others to grow their own food and to see the world. She’s bilingual (speaking both Spanish and English), a certified yoga instructor, has guided nature tours in New Zealand, and studied Nutrition and Food Science at Colorado State University. On weekends you will find her in the kitchen fermenting her latest harvest, rock climbing or in the mountains attempting to trail run.
Courtlyn Carpenter, Community Outreach Director (she/her)
Courtlyn grew up in western Colorado where she took full advantage of abundant opportunities to spend time outdoors hiking, biking, and skiing. Her love of the outdoors and concern for the environment led her to study environmental engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder, from where she graduated with her masters degree. Courtlyn has worked on several farms across the United States, and she spent a summer studying food systems in Denmark and England. Not only was this farming experience rewarding, but it also created an appreciation for the hard work that goes into agriculture and the importance of providing educational programs about food systems. In addition to her work with Garden to Table, Courtlyn plans a couple of concert series in the area and plays cello in the local folk band Sturtz.
Charlotte Sandkuhler, Program Director & Title I Garden Educator (she/her)
Charlotte grew up in Baltimore and developed a love of nature canoeing around the Chesapeake Bay. She studied Environmental Science at the University of Maryland and began her career creating schoolyard gardens, educating students about urban environmentalism, and running marine biology camps. After relocating to Colorado, she taught and developed curriculum for the Butterfly Pavilion and Majestic View Nature Center. She has enjoyed many years as a substitute teacher for BVSD. She became aware of Garden to Table as a summer steward for her children’s school garden beds, and is thrilled to be part of that team now. When she isn’t inspecting the sprouts in her garden beds, you can find Charlotte hiking with her family, discovering new board games with her son, attempting escape rooms, or practicing piano to stay one step ahead of her daughter.
Carol Klein, Title I Garden Educator (she/her)
Carol grew up in Virginia, where she spent her youth exploring both forests and city streets alike. An artist at heart, her joy for learning and creating led her to pursue a BFA from VCU, focusing mainly on the craft of ceramics and glassblowing. Shortly after graduating and
starting a family, she began teaching ceramic classes at a local visual arts center. This was the beginning of her growing passion for education. After her and her family moved to Colorado, she began substitute teaching and volunteering with her children’s school garden. She became more involved with Garden to Table and spent a few years working as a Garden Coordinator. After some time away to pursue a deeper dive into the studies of education, Carol is excited to be back with Garden to Table to begin her new position as a Title 1 Garden Educator. When not teaching, Carol enjoys exploring on foot or on bike, getting crafty, spending time with her kids, and volunteering with a local visual arts organization.
