About the Program: 

The garden goal is to give children the experience of growing their own plants learn about the science of gardening and learn about nutrition of whole foods. The grant will allow us to establish a garden for the 1 062 children who attend school here. The garden will open up the world of nature and caring for the earth to Memphis children who may never experience it otherwise. There are few school gardens in the city and we will be setting an example of prioritizing outdoor nature education.
