About the Program: 

 As an Americorps VISTA working through the Cooperative Extension, I am working with teachers and the superintendants throughout the Globe-Miami region in Arizona to start school gardens from scratch. Starting with a  pilot project at a local elementary school, we train the teachers and provide and reserach and resources for whichever added schools would like to join the movement. Teachers will receive the Master Gardener course at a discounted rate, and we provide specific curriculum on gardening instruction for different grade levels.
