About the Program:
My goal is for our garden is my students to grow fresh vegetables that they may in turn open a mini farmers market for the community to help keep the obesity level within the families and community down. My students are all on free and reduce lunch, however when they get home, they are forced to eat quick unhealthy foods due to cost and several students are becoming obese for their age groups. It is my plan that the seniors and low income families in our schools community can take the food that we grow and use them in salads or in their meals to encourage healthy living.
