About the Program:
Students who attend public school in LA are growing up with little knowledge as to where their food comes from or how much work it takes to produce it. This lack of connection with their food source makes it very difficult for them to care about the quality of the food they eat and the impact their food choice has on our planet and their health. Our goal is to use the garden and outdoor kitchen as an outdoor classroom to re-connect students with their environment and community.
