About the Program: 

Our goal is to establish school gardens where students learn important life skills in multi-discipline areas (science math healthy living and language arts). In addition to gardening skills this project will teach teamwork and good character traits like trustworthiness respect fairness caring responsibility and citizenship. The youth will utilize products from the garden consuming vegetables and in some cases participating in a service-learning project to donate to needy families.
