About the Program:
The Old Country Road gardens enable students hands-on internalization of the message that what students eat affects how their bodies will grow. Students will be able to incorporate an understanding that food does not grow out of colorful plastic bags and boxes on supermarket shelves. The grant will make it possible for our school gardens to promote sustainability by teaching our students to care about their community as well as their bodies mind and the planet.
