About the Program:
Tule Elk Project provides a vegetable garden and a garden educator to the school to establish healthy food habits from the earliest age possible in a low-income community. Our objective is to expose children to healthy living and good eating habits who otherwise may not have the means to grow food or afford natural foods. We aim to combat obesity and the "disconnect" urban children have from the natural world by teaching them where real food comes from and share the joy of watching it grow!
