EcoHarvest

EcoHarvest is a partnership between Eco Education and Harvest Moon Backyard Farmers to restore a peace garden at the Seward Montessori elementary/middle school in Minneapolis. Fresh produce from this garden will be used in their school lunch program, at a local restaurant and donated to a local food shelf. In addition, this schoolyard garden will serve as a living classroom where after school and summer school programs will engage young people to learn more about healthy and locally grown food.

The EcoHarvest Summer Program consists of eight lessons held at the Seward Montessori garden. Each lesson will emphasize the importance of healthy and locally-grown food and include gardening skills and information as well as a fun, hands-on activity or art project.
