About the Program: 

Our goal is to establish school gardens where students learn important life skills in multi-discipline areas (science math healthy living and language arts). In addition to gardening skills this project will teach teamwork and good character _ traits like trustworthiness respect fairness caring responsibility and citizenship. The youth will utilize products from the garden consuming vegetables and in some cases participating in a service-learning project to donate to needy families.
