Urban Roots

Urban Roots is a non-profit organization dedicated to growing healthy minds, bodies, and communities by transforming the education process from the ground up. We believe that food is a powerful tool for academic and nutrition education when it is fully integrated into the classroom and accessible to the community. To this end, Urban Roots offers school-based and summer programming for students, professional development for teachers, workshops for families, and special public events to further promote healthy, sustainable lifestyles in our community.

Valley View School District Edible School Gardens

Among the many benefits of school gardening, the ultimate goal of the Valley View School District is to utilize the garden to cultivate healthier eating habits in students. Studies show that children who are involved in edible school gardens have increased their daily vegetable and fruit consumption by 2.5 servings per day (American Dietetic Association, 2007). Furthermore, growing and harvesting their own food increases children’s willingness to try new fruits and vegetables and improves their knowledge and attitudes toward these foods.
