Middlesboro Middle School

After participating in the care and maintenance of this garden students will demonstrate basic vegetable growing techniques, summarize the things plants need to grow and stay productive, and describe the benefits of eating a healthy and varied diet that includes adequate fruit and vegetable intake. Receiving the Whole Kids/FoodCorps grant would allow Middlesboro Middle School to purchase the tools, equipment and other materials needed to start food production in the spring of 2013. For our community, this garden may become a source of pride and accomplishment as our students and their families learn new skills to help them become self-sufficient and healthier.
