Northeast Elementary Garden Project

 Educational institutions can encourage the overall health and well-being of staff, families and community members, as well as the health of students. By creating schools that promote health and environmental education programs, a larger population of youth will be exposed to the fundamentals of healthy living. Across the nation, school gardens are being implemented as an effective means of enhancing schools’ nutrition programs and as a way to educate the students about agriculture and food systems (U.S. Department of Agriculture 2011).
