Garden Rules to Health

   Childhood obesity rates are out of control and its time for change? To combat childhood obesity, studies show that children who grow fruits or veggies, are more interested in eating them.  Eating more whole food and less processed foods combined with exercise is the path to better health and overall wellness.  A school garden supports that path to positive change in your community.

The Carrot Academy

The Carrot Academy is an initiative to offer alternative classroom like experiences to youth at our LOVE Building facility. A traditional Academy event allows children to go out into the garden and work with plants, weed and harvest, compost and plant. They then take some of  their bounty into the kitchen, prepare their meal and sit down and talk about a topic related to their self sufficiency, self esteem and sustainable food systems. Then they wash up and put their dishes away.
