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)

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, Outreach Director & Garden Manager (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 farming and working at Garden to Table, Courtlyn 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.
Sierra Petrash, Title I Garden Educator (she/her)
Sierra is originally from Atlanta, Georgia and has always had an immense love for the outdoors. When she moved to Colorado for college she dedicated her academic career to the environment. She graduated in the Spring of 2024 with a BA in both Environmental Studies and Sociology. In Atlanta, Sierra worked on urban farms and fell in love with agriculture. She is excited to continue to foster that love through her work as an educator at Garden to Table. She also recently completed a thesis on the overwhelming benefits of agriculture and outdoor education. When Sierra is not working, she is skiing, playing frisbee, or just lounging around with friends!
