Green Our Planet celebrated Earth Day with its 2026 Spring Giant Student Farmers Market on The Lawn at Downtown Summerlin, bringing together more than 600 student “Farmpreneurs” from 56 Clark County School District schools for one of the largest student-run farmers markets in the nation.

In its 13th year, the market gives students an opportunity to sell school-grown produce and handmade crafts while applying lessons in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, STEM and teamwork in a real-world setting, with funds going back to support their school garden and hydroponics programs.

The event brought together students, educators, families and community members for an Earth Day celebration centered on student achievement, sustainability and hands-on learning. The market is one of Green Our Planet’s signature programs, giving students the opportunity to apply lessons. Students gain confidence as they grow products, engage customers, manage money and work together.

“Green entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful ways to prepare young people for the future,” said Green Our Planet CEO Ciara Byrne. “At this market, students are not just selling produce and products – they are learning how to think like entrepreneurs, problem-solvers, scientists and leaders. They are discovering that they can create value, serve their community and help build a sustainable world.”

The market was presented by Credit One Bank, a longtime supporter of Green Our Planet’s CCSD programs. Las Vegas Sands Cares, Cox Communications, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, CCSD, Howard Hughes, Lazy Dog, Western Alliance Bank and Aristocrat provided additional support.

“At Credit One Bank, we believe students deserve opportunities to build real-world skills early,” said Tanisha Perry, senior manager of facilities at Credit One Bank. The market “helps young people develop financial confidence, entrepreneurial thinking and communication skills – tools that will serve them for life.”

Since launching in 2013, Green Our Planet has grown into one of the largest school garden and hydroponics education programs in the U.S., reaching more than 1,300 schools in 44 states. More: GreenOurPlanet.org
