About the Program: 

The purpose of our grant is to educate our students on the process of growing healthy food from ground preparation to harvest. Students will prepare soil, plant seeds, water plants, pull weeds, make observations, harvest and then eat the garden foods. They will be educated on what types of foods can be grown during each season. Our students will understand the reward and value of growing one's own healthy food and the nutritional value of doing so.
