Bailey Gatzert Elementary

The Danny Woo Children's Garden Program, run by InterIm CDA, provides Bailey Gatzert Elementary School students classes both at the school and field trips to our unique garden, the Danny Woo Community Garden. The Danny Woo Community Garden is a place where low-income gardeners raise vegetables that reflect their cultural foods of choice, and children come to learn about these cultural and environmental connections. Our curriculum follows a seed- to- plate model; where youth and young children learn how to grow, prepare, cook, and eat healthy foods. With the Whole Kid's Foundation Grant; InterIm CDA/ the Danny Woo Community Garden will be able to pay for Americorps members to coordinate the program at Bailey Gatzert. This will allow us to deepen our curriculum, hold an additional Kindergarten gardening class, continue running established classes, recruit volunteers, and grow healthy food! Furthermore, we will be able to purchase necessary materials for this year's classes.
