Growing Healthy Kids, Inc. creates garden-based solutions to the childhood obesity epidemic through our core education programs:
Growing Healthy Kids in the Kitchen
Growing Healthy Kids in the Garden
We have strategic parterships with Boys and Girls Clubs and Youth Mentoring programs which allow us to reach children and families who live in food deserts where there is a higher incidence of obesity-related diseases. Using new technology such as airponic growing systems, we bring fresh food production into the classroom.
We produce a weekly column for parents filled with recipes, gardening ideas, tips, and resources called "WELLNESS WEDNESDAYS" at www.growinghealthykids.blogspot.com.
We are a nonprofit organization acting locally and thinking globally to improve the health - and lives - of America's children.
