Ames School Gardens Project

 

We coordinate two school garden programs in the Ames Community School District in Ames, Iowa.  Working with many community partners and volunteers, we provide hands-on garden, cooking and nutrition education programs in and out of school.  All garden projects are also community-based, and food goes to families in the wider community as well as students and their families.
