About the Program: 

We'll expand growing boxes indoor and outside & employ experts to work besides teacher to integrate gardening into reading math and science curriculum & have higher growing success rates. The produce will be sold at our student-run Hip2B Healthy Market which sells healthy items that cost less than junk food at bodegas. We can expand our Chef's Nights & classes. Chefs show families how to cook nutritiously & deliciously using produce grown locally and by students.
