About the Program: 

Nevada is #11 in the nation for childhood obesity and we are creating a grassroots movement to change those statistics. We enlist local businesses to invest in and sponsor a school garden while giving back to the community. Our garden curriculum is taught by volunteer retired teachers in and out of the classroom. Together we can create a movement that will help teach our next generation about taking care of themselves and eating healthier and in turn have an effect on our childhood obesity.
