Crenshaw High School

The goal of the Mother Of Many (M.O.M.) Crenshaw high school garden project is to enhance our seed to table healthy eating curriculum. This grant will make it possible for us to buy a mobile food science lab and support our growing farmers market. Located in South Los Angeles, a notorious food desert, M.O.M.'s mission is to provide fresh food choices to student, parents, teachers and community residents. Our Botanical Engineering & Gardening program introduces Crenshaw students to botany, irrigation engineering, agriculture, food science (dehydration/food preservation) and gardening. Fresh produce from the garden is available for community members to purchase during our weekly Farmers’ Market, which is certified by the California State Department of Food and Agriculture.
