The CACGP guides/assists several hundred youth per year in the development of edible gardens from construction phase to harvest promoting physically active and healthy lifestyles. Through hands-on interaction the CACGP teaches the preparation of 'real' food from garden to table in order to foster and set in place lifelong healthy eating patterns and reduce the risk of disease. The CACGP uses the garden as a venue in Title I schools to educate about health nutrition math science & the environment
