About the Program: 

We seek to actively engage children in the process of growing food and arm them with the knowledge of why and how to eat healthfully. Our project highlights gardening both as a type of physical activity and as a way to study the natural world. This grant will make it possible for us to engage more students from our district in this enriching educational experience working with more students from a broader age group to encourage appreciation for healthy eating and healthy lifestyle choices.
