About the Program: 

Our goal is to educate all 5th grade students about healthy eating and nutrition and to build two learning tables used for demonstration cooking and potting. Students (who normally would not be able to experience this due to envirnomental factors) will have a chance to eat food from the ground and appreciate their part in producing it. Last they will have a better understaning of the role of plants in the environment. Grant funds will be used to offset the cost of garden maintenance material.
