About the Program:
Our primary goal is to educate the children and inspire them to eat healthier. We want them to learn where their food comes from and to take part in the process of growing their own food. There are far too many "picky" eaters, and we have seen how adventurous children can become with what they eat when they have worked in the garden to grow their food and experience vegetables they didn't even know about or were afraid to try. As a community, we feel a garden project will get people involved and bring the community together.
