Healthy Foods for Healthy Kids

Our goal is to make our state’s next generation the healthiest eaters in the country by providing vegetable-garden-based educational programs to elementary schools throughout Delaware. Teachers love our program because the lesson plans meet the science content standards, promote student health, and make it so easy that the garden can be self-sustaining after the first year. From kindergarten to 5th grade, all ~8,000 students in our program have hands-on learning experiences that increase environmental and agricultural literacy, as well as the excitement of eating vegetables that they grew themselves.
