Emerson Elementary School

The main goal of the school garden is to improve Berwyn's eating habits. We hope the garden will infect the local community by first teaching kids life lessons about healthy eating nutrition and the varied benefits of whole foods over processed foods. They can then bring these lessons to their parents too many of whom now send kids to school with Lunchables and Funyuns. Second the garden will generate interest in home gardening so more Berwyn families will grow their own healthy food.
