About the Program: 

 Veggie U is dedicated to increasing children’s awareness of healthy food options, and teaching them how real food reaches their plate. We believe children who are exposed to growing their own food are more likely to include vegetables in their diet. Our national non-profit organization supplies Classroom Gardens and a standards based, five-week science program to elementary and special needs students. Over 6,500 Veggie U Classroom Gardens have sprouted in 36 states. Learn more at www.VeggieU.org
