In this sixth-grade lesson, students prepare a soup with vegetables harvested from the fall garden while they practice knife skills and learn the basics of making stock.
Through growing, processing, cooking, eating, studying, talking and thinking about food, students develop skills, knowledge and behavior that enrich their academic and nonacademic lives, bolster their growth as individuals and in relationships, and cultivate meaningful engagements with their own health, the health of their communities and health of the planet.
This programme has grown to include 17 schools and institutions who participate in instilling a love of Good Clean and Fair in students ranging in age from 3 - 18 while integrating garden activities into the overall school curriculum. As we grow, we will not only add new gardens but continue to support and expand our existing gardens. The goal of the programme is to support garden committees and their volunteers to become more effective in creating and sustaining school gardens in their community.
