Bessie Carmichael

The goal is to educate youth about the impacts food has on personal health and the health of the environment, while also cultivating their entrepreneurial skills through business partnerships. Funding would allow Bessie Carmichael to recruit Healthy Planet to help them fully develop their school garden and coordinate a student-run Enterprise Project based around their harvest, where the students want to use real food from the garden for the school cafeteria or snacks. The proceeds produced by the project will go towards the school garden and its maintenance. This will also help the school further develop their sustainability education program. The Science classes will use the garden space with Healthy Planet
