About the Program:
The Garden Program will teach youth to grow and prepare their own food while promoting healthy eating habits. The gardens will improve the overall health of the children and youth we serve by providing access to fresh vegetables, engaging them in physical activity, as well as teaching them about nutrition and healthy eating habits. The youth in our school are from urban areas that have had limited access to open spaces and the ability to garden. We hope that these community gardens will inspire them to develop a love of the outdoors and continue to find ways to beautify their own urban communities.
