About the Program: 

The Grant School Garden is a hands-on, nutrition based program designed to teach students the fundamentals of nutrition through gardening and cooking.  Our program has been very successful in introducing new foods to students and demonstrating fun ways to prepare seasonal foods.  We are looking to integrate this program into the school curriculum and expand upon the many possibilities.  Getting parents and staff fully on board is our goal, as the teachers and the students love the program and are very much on board.  We are always looking for support and creative ideas.  Let us know what you think!
