MU Children's Learning Garden

 The MU Children's Learning Garden is a collaboration between the MU Child Development Lab and the USDA-Agricultural Research Services People's Garden Project. With the help of University of Missouri community organizers and faculture, the garden provides learning experiences for Children ages 18 months to 5 years old. During the growing season, children participate in all aspects of planning, growing, and preparing foods. The garden is meant to reconnect children with food and nature and facilitate transdisciplinary collaboration on the Land Grant University. Eventually, the garden will be used as a tool to better understand how children learn about food and explore the role of intentional food education in healthy human development.
