The University of Chicago Charter School North Kenwood/Oakland Campus

The revitalization of the NKO garden started with the idea of showing students where their vegetables come from and promoting healthy eating habits. Many of these students do not have equal access to fresh vegetables and urban gardening and we want to foster a love of both through getting them involved in a school garden. This grant will provide money to build additional beds and a small greenhouse and allow us to involve the entire school and the after-school program.
