For the Italian school gardens, growing a cabbage with the help of a grandpa is a way to create a new link with the older generation, improve manual abilities and social skills, and learn how to organize and care for common space.

The Sage Garden Project visited Monarch School in December 2014.  With energy, vision, and generosity, the idea for a Monarch School Garden Program and Nutrition Lab became a reality.  The program serves K - 12 homeless students in San Diego, California, providing empowering opportunities to grow and prepare food for students, staff, and families.
