Goodrell Middle School

The grant will make it possible for our FoodCorps members to work with 5 schools in Des Moines to build and revitalize school gardens. In addition through the special projects funding we request we will provide a 5-week school garden training in early 2012 to teams of at least 2 people (teachers social workers parents etc.) at a dozen schools. This training will introduce these school teams to basic gardening techniques curriculum that aligns with Iowa Core and garden planning activities.
