Elmhurst Community Prep/Alliance Academy Healthy Cooking & Gardening Groups

The goal of the ECP/AA garden and healthy cooking program is to increase food access and nutrition information for the students of Elmhurst Community Prep and the East Oakland community. It provides an interactive learning space where classes and after-school programs can incorporate the garden into lesson plans that teach about biology and food justice. The school garden creates an environment where students are encouraged and excited to learn about new, healthy foods and the ways in which they are grown.
