About the Program: 

   Childhood obesity rates are out of control and its time for change? To combat childhood obesity, studies show that children who grow fruits or veggies, are more interested in eating them.  Eating more whole food and less processed foods combined with exercise is the path to better health and overall wellness.  A school garden supports that path to positive change in your community.  

    Have you ever considered bringing a garden to your school, but perhaps didn’t have the resources to make it a reality?  If so, we have a program that will make your school garden a reality and works perfectly on limited resources. 

    Our program is affordable, simple and proven to work, especially in schools.  My name is Emily Nelson and our company has built successful garden programs  across the country for the past 4 years.   I have multiple schools in Colorado Springs alone which are being showcased for other Colorado state schools.  Our aeroponic growing system, 100% made in America, was developed by Tim Blank at Disney’s Epcot Center in Florida.  It's featured at O’hare International Airport and numerous other commercial sites.  We call it Tower Garden.

    Our dream is to put a garden and curriculum in every school across the United States.  We hope you will join us by saying yes to our tried and proven system, you will be glad you did.  I look forward to meeting you soon to talk about your new school garden.
