About the Program:
Imagine learning good nutrition habits by raising plants that Native Americans, early colonists, or early settlers in what is now Tennessee may have raised. By raising heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables is a growing set of "theme gardens", students at Sarah Moore Greene Elementary will combine science, history, and health education. This grant will make it possible to launch this long-term project by allowing an initial theme garden on colonial foods to be planted.
