About the Program:
We have many goals in mind for the Village Elementary School garden. It will be used to help introduce and reinforce lessons across a range of academic subjects. It will foster a dialogue about eating nutritious food and adopting other healthy habits. It will facilitate teamwork among students, parents, staff and community partners. And it will be a teaching tool for the community at large, to encourage our neighbors to reap the benefits of planting their own backyard gardens.
