About the Program: 

The Keverian School Garden is a resource to help students learn about healthy eating habits. The after-school Garden Club and the elementary health classes maintain the garden. Through a hands on approach, students learn about the different parts of the plants and the growing process. They learn about nutrition and healthy eating. By growing their own herbs, fruits, and vegetables students get excited about trying new healthy foods. This grant will allow the school to purchase supplies and plants needed to maintain the garden.
