About the Program: 

Through the auspices of PTA we would like to help the school teach the children about growing vegetables and help families learn to grow and prepare healthy meals. This grant would provide funds for building seven raised beds on an asphalt playground (urban school-high poverty). Local gardeners and community partnerships would support education and management of gardens throughout the gardening year. Each raised bed would be built and maintained by students in grades K-6.
