About the Program: 

Since 2007, Slow Food MIami has developed and administered a large school garden program that impacts up to 35,000 students at over 50 elementary, middle and high schools in the Miami-Dade school district.  We give mini grants, install raised garden beds, supply financial resources and educational materials and training to the qualified schools that apply for our grants.  We are very wide reaching and are now going more deeply into the classrooms via curriculum integration and into the cafteterias with garden produce being added to the daliy fare offered to students.
