Jardin de Los Ninos school garden

Jardin de los Ninos is a Nationally Acreddited Early Childhood Learning Center located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. We provide free and much needed childcare to homeless and near homeless families. Jardin serves children from ages 6 weeks thru 5th grade in our After School Program and averages between 50-80 enrolled at a time. We are seeking to start a school garden to provide the families and children with an education about agriculture and better eating habits. The school garden project is being spearheaded by Bridget Hughes, a full-time Americorps member at Jardin de los Ninos.
