MULHOLLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL

Our garden's goal is to teach low income parents and students how to grow vegetables and fruit to support a healthy diet for themselves and their families. So far we have had a very successful Parent Garden Class for the parents of Mulholland Middle School since September and we meet once a week for instructional guidance from two Master Gardeners(MGs) from the University of CA Cooperative Extension. In addition to the MGs, the Network has been providing nutrition education along with a healthy tasting and sampling of seasonal fruits and vegetables and how to prepare these recipes. We have included certain recipes where we were able to harvest straight from one of our garden beds, a caprese salad we used our own basil and tomatoes.

This program is supported by LAUSD.
